[Hide Comment] Climbing to the right of the 1st bolt makes this much easier (as mentioned above) and it's also the natural/obvious way to go as the holds are better out right.

The anchor on top is two bolts w/hangers set back and left from the edge (they're actually above the route Child Proof). To lower off or toprope this you'll need a bit of webbing, otherwise sit on top and belay. Sep 22, 2007
