Description

getting off the ground and making the first couple moves is the crux. not a bad idea to stick clip the 1st or 2nd bolt. some good fun cranking on little crimps too bad its really really easy after that. probably helps if your a bit taller.

Location

just right of Macaroni angles left into the anchors of it as well.

Protection

6ish bolts use anchors of Macaroni

[Hide Comment] There was a large tree covering this route and the 5.8 leaning against the rock. After leading the route and being concerned with falling into the branches, I was able to wiggle the tree off of the rock and onto the ground. The route is now clean but the tree now covers part of the trail. Jul 26, 2012

[Hide Comment] Anchor is shared with Macaroni (5.8) to the left. The right anchor is pretty mangled but looks to still be structurally sound. The left anchor has a solid looking biner. Crux is getting to the 2nd bolt and the rock is sharp. Seems like there are two possible starts. One seems to be easier to the left and avoids the mono pocket to the right. Right side start definitely felt like a V3/V4ish move and is 5.12 in my mind. Sep 9, 2019
