Description
This is a fun route, the only drawback is the rusty old bolts. Climb up the face past 4 bolts, then into some underclings (bring some small TCUs to use here, I used a green alien) and on to the anchor.
The first and fourth bolts are quarter inch but decent looking, but the middle two bolts look really sketchy: homemade-looking hangers and super rusty. Also, the anchor only has one bolt but it can be backed up by a really good red camalot placement.
This felt easier than the guidebook rating of 5.10d to me, but maybe that is because I was trying so hard not to fall on the sketchy bolts.
