[Hide Comment] I would be stoked if someone replaced that bolt! I really have no authority or importance in the Durango Scene, but still, I think it needs to be done. That's a good improvement. Jul 7, 2011

[Hide Comment] I just climbed this today, there is a relatively new bolt on the lip of the roof, it looks like it was replaced recently.

Fun route, did the Left X and linked into it, a little difficult finding the crimps.

Rope drag is bad unless you use long runners on everything (then it's only inconvenient). May 2, 2012
