[Hide Comment] Great for teaching new climbers, and teaching to lead. Also the bolt and ledge at the top also make it a great place to learn to rappel. Feb 27, 2012

[Hide Comment] One of the hooks at the top is missing so you have to unlock the steel biner to have a 2nd bolt. Same anchor for rhythm on the range. Nov 5, 2013

[Hide Comment] FYI: The left mussy hook at the anchor that this route shares with Fiddlin Buckaroo, Zig Zag, and Rythm of the Range is worn about a third to a half of the way through and needs to be replaced. Dec 3, 2021
