[Hide Comment] Bolted this today and we’re calling it Jewish Space Laser. It’s a fine route and it may, but is probably not, responsible for the fires in California. FA party included myself and Jean DeLataillde. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was invited but declined due to a previously scheduled conspiracy engagement. As many as 100 QAnon supporters toproped this route prior to the January 6, 2021 assault on the US Capitol and it is yet to be determined if any supporters will enjoy this upgraded five bolt endeavor. We believe it is a worthwhile addition and once through the chossy bottom section most climbers will enjoy the pleasant and overhanging nature of this previously rarely done gem. Enjoy! Mar 4, 2021

[Hide Comment] This is a fun line. The crux, albeit short, is airy and steep on good holds. Makes for a good warmup since it's easier climbing below and above the crux. The last bolt is in a dish and difficult to get a carabiner clipped through the hanger. The anchors could benefit from some chains, if anyone is so inclined, as it's a bit of an exposed downclimb to get the draws from the top. Feb 12, 2022

[Hide Comment] Nice climb, Luke. Fun crux.

I second Jason's comment about the chains - I wouldn't recommend retrieving your draws in Blundstones.. I'll try to remember to bring some hardware with me next time I'm down there. Apr 14, 2022

[Hide Comment] We added chains and lowering biners to this anchor over the weekend. No more airy downclimb to retrieve draws needed. Jun 13, 2022
