[Hide Comment] The lower bolt is there but the 2nd has been removed and filled. There is a high, old 1/4 bolt just above a flake but I wouldn't recommend it's use haha! The flakes are good for pro or just TR it, easy TR set-up on the upper ledge in some vertical cracks. Aug 18, 2009

[Hide Comment] This route is a sandbag at 10a. The 2 bolts are needed through the crux section or it essentially a solo. A gear anchor can be rigged at the point where this climb ends before the walkoff ledge. It's easy to rig after leading the climb and then you can clean it from around the corner and solo easily back up to the ledge. Be careful. Setting up topropes on this face is kind of an ordeal.

[Hide Comment] Logically speaking, why not rebolt the thing already and make it safer, and not restrict it to a sad TR-only ordeal? Oct 24, 2018
