Description
This was initially done as a very poorly protected headpoint with only a little cleaning done. I did it in this style as there was a bit of bolting controversy circling the Gally around that time, I wanted to do it in similar style to the neighboring Boveng's Overhang, and I didn't think it merited bolting. However, as such it sat completely ignored for the last 10 years.
In June 2019, it was retro-bolted by a party unaware that it had been climbed as there was little evidence left behind and the sparse/marginal gear options understandably didn't look like reasonable pro. I was contacted by the bolter after they realized their mistake, and am fine with the bolting and cleaning that it apparently received. It seems to me to be a better use of the resource given the growing popularity of the canyon, and the fact that a deadly moderate doesn't really appeal to most folks. It can now serve as a convenient warm-up for lines on B.O. Buttress and the south face of the Waltz.
