Only two clips I think. First bolt seems quite off the deck but it's easy climbing to get to it. Dec 27, 2009

Fun easy climbing up buckets to a thin move just past the first bolt and then it quickly gets much easier - I almost tripped on the 2nd bolt when I hiked/climbed past it. Feb 15, 2010

Glad the second bolt was added...because you are quite off the deck by then..which can be scary for a novice Feb 21, 2010
