[Hide Comment] Um....why one shut? Heck, why any of the bolts? This is a highball boulder problem at best... Aug 9, 2010

[Hide Comment] I led this thing on gear yesterday. There is literally a piece adjacent to every bolt. Dec 20, 2010
[Hide Comment] Why would you put only one shut at the top? If you can afford the $ for the rest, make it it sport standard and finish it off properly. Mar 9, 2012

[Hide Comment] As of Dec 2016 this route has two opens at the top. Dec 21, 2016
[Hide Comment] There are more than two bolt lines between Thins Bottom Bitch and Julory. Julory is on the black streak of rock. The green bolt is the first one, but you can't see the green till you're above it. Aug 23, 2017
[Hide Comment] I may have been on the wrong route.. there seemed to be no hands after the first bolt.. didn't seem to be 5.8. Only slopey, not positive hands above the first bolt. Oct 14, 2018
[Hide Comment] Fun and technical for the grade. This is a *GOOD* first sport lead climb. It is well protected, but the slabby section actually requires a little footwork and outside-of-the-box route reading; without these, you will have quite the befuddled noob... Jan 28, 2021
