Description

This is the route that starts in the corner just left of Rainy Day Women. Work the corner for the first few bolts then tackle the crux bulge. Once over the bulge, you can either stay in the corner or step left onto the face. Either way, the holds are all there to the anchors.

Protection

8 Bolts, anchor equipped to lower off

[Hide Comment] anyone know what the bolted line just left of this? 5.11ish. Crimpy. I started up the 5.9 then moved right to reach it. Finished at the 2 bolt anchor with chains higher and left of the son of Jesus anchor - and it looked like there was an extension though it looked substantially more difficult. Sep 18, 2018

[Hide Comment] Between Aug 4th and Aug 6th someone stole the lower off biners off the chains of this route which were not worn out and had been in place for years. Those were in place to facilitate fast change over on one of the few easy routes at the wall that is quite popular. Aug 7, 2019

[Hide Comment] The first bolt, crux bulge, and anchor bolt/chains and lower off were replaced with stainless courtesy of a grant from WARP, washingtonanchors.org/, please consider making a donation as each dollar goes toward hardware purchase. All work and tools are on a volunteer basis.

Someone had replaced 6 of the pro bolts on this with stainless wedges in the past, perhaps they didn't have hooks/trad rack with them. We had to use a cam to pull back into the corner for replacing the crux bolt at the bulge, which came out with an unsettling amount of ease.

Brent that line in the middle is "spent", the extensions "totally spent" goes at 12a Dec 2, 2019

[Hide Comment] In the 1990's I used to bring a rack just for this route. It had one bolt at the bulge, right above a rusty 1/4". Really fun climbing on either gear or bolts! Jul 17, 2022
