Details
fs.usda.gov/activity/dbnf/r… Follow existing trails and climb using removable protection or in climbing areas with existing approved fixed anchors or bolts. Development of any new rock climbing, bouldering or rappelling areas and development of any climbing routes involving the permanent installation of new fixed anchors or new trail construction requires prior Forest Service authorization.
Description
By virtue of its grade, it has always been *the* warm up at the area. Mostly good holds on a slightly steep wall. The crux is probably just an endurance problem for most climbers, so it's a good one to "go for it" on.
Location
Continue left on the main Sky Bridge Wall past several popular lines including the obvious line "Super Dario", then continue a few meters more past the unpopular "Grunge Face" to the left end of the main wall just before a chimney and corner (Fungus Fantasy) and the turn in the wall to the its more westwardly aspect. A line of 7 bolts marks this steep climb on good holds.
Protection
7 bolts to a bolted anchor
