Description

Easy Terms is a fun, moderate climb. Like many of the routes here, the first bolt is a little high, but easy to get to. The route zig-zags back and forth across the face, making the next move not always obvious. The crux is a relatively smooth stretch between the first and second bolts, with some additional strenuous moves below the third bolt. Above the third bolt the climbing eases significantly to the anchors.

Location

Located on the right side of the No Money Down area. Left of Truth in Advertising is a patch of dirty rock (lichen). Easy terms climbs the face immediately left of the lichen.

Protection

Four bolts to Quick Clips.

[Hide Comment] This route sees a lot of traffic due to the popularity of the area. As a result the holds are getting a bit worn down and slick. The placement of the 2nd bolt makes for a potential ground fall if you blow the crux moves. A heady lead if you're not solid at the grade. Fun and challenging no matter how many times you've done it. 2stars, 8+. Oct 4, 2010
