Squirm up start, then climb to bolt near the top.  There is an old two bolt anchor above. The old guide calls this Beerchucker's Layback.  Based on all the old broken bottles littering the area, it is well named.

[Hide Comment] Have climbed on tr years ago, recently led yesterday. Did not recall seeing any bolt on the route while leading or rapping.
But fun climb, bring that 4 for the start Nov 15, 2022

[Hide Comment] I also didn't see a bolt anywhere on the climb. One of the hangers on the anchor is missing and no rap ring on the remaining bolt hanger. Guessing someone stole it because what's up there looks shiny and relatively new. There's a tree you can sling to back up the bolt that remains, or bring a hanger and nut to replace what's been taken. If making a TR, might be good to bring something to extend your rope over the edge a bit (about 2ft from anchor to edge). Good gear, climb also goes as a crack/offwidth. Easier to place gear if your jams are up to snuff. Nice ledge to deck on if you run it out too far :) Mar 24, 2023
