Description

"
Starts right below the bolts. From the first ledge go up left of bolts until you get to drill hole. At drill hole, cross right and climb body over the bolt. Then go up two thin finger ledges above bolt. Can also layback on drill holes. Last panel, clip the bolt and stay on the left 3'. Last move is hard on fingery holds, can use all shelves from bolted panel and panel on left.
"
Dry toolers stay off this route or the top, you are ruining the last moves.

Prefer no drytooling here. Drytooling destroys routes. Tradition is to use web anchors and trad gear
if you really need to drytool. Bolts are for sport climbers. Let's save these climbs for YOUR kids. Thanks. Dreez
