Tea and Strumpets

Nice warm-up for 10's. Nicely protected. Oct 30, 2008

The start is pretty tough, so stickclipping the first bolt is a good idea.

The last bolt (just above the roof) is very poorly placed. Jul 18, 2009

I don't remember anything odd about the bolting. What's wrong with the last bolt? Jul 23, 2009

It's way left of the climbing line. My buddy who led the route couldn't clip it til he was above the bolt. Jul 23, 2009

Im Avg. Height and had no problems with any of the clips, 2nd clip is super fun. Soft imo Oct 18, 2012

Led this on gear last weekend. Protects pretty well. May 18, 2013

In my opinion, the bolting is a little bit odd, but not cuz it's hard to clip, more because of rope-drag issues. Definitely don't go having partners topdog it on your best rope, that's for sure. Easy warm up if you are headed to the White Wall. Nov 14, 2013

Bolts very poorly placed. The placement of the second bolt allows for a side-loading of a draw - drastically decreasing its safety factor (<7 KN). Bolts above the little roof are equally poor in placement, and yield excessive drag. The bolts should be repurposed to a much clean line either to the right or left. If you are looking for a warm-up route climb the one just to the right it's call crawdaddy (10a). Nov 26, 2013

I have climbed this route a number of times and never seen side loading at the second bolt (just under the first, smaller roof). Many of my friends have fallen at that bulge move without consequence... Although perhaps we climb it differently, which would lead to the rope in a different place... Apr 19, 2014
