Hunter's Left Layback
Fourth route from the south. 8 bolts to a single chain. I removed the 2 bolt anchor and chain due to safety reason. The big boulder slab the anchor was attached to could move if two people braced there butts and used there legs strenuously. It is unlikely to fall, but I didn't trust it. I moved one anchor chain down to the top bolt. First climbed by Hunter Barrett in 2007. There are two cruxes. The first crux is about 20 feet up in the second pocket. This is the layback move. The second crux is about 35 feet. I went to the left to stay out of the large horizontal crack that looks snakey if you jam your hand way back in there.The route is fun, but has too many bolts. This was my first route to bolt.
