Protection

4 bolts, chain anchor

[Hide Comment] Good route, but definitely at least 10c. Probably as hard as Firepower (in Tombstone pit), the 10d's in yonder North area etc. Nov 17, 2014

[Hide Comment] The first two bolts are super heady; they have difficult moves (definitely v3-v4), and it is very possible to deck here. Getting to the anchors after traversing to the giant crack is a cakewalk. Sep 25, 2016
