It's likely few climber go there, but it may affect the adventurous.
Description
This is a fun, short sport climb up a partly detached pinnacle just right of Cool Thing by about 25 feet. It ascends a small bulge to start on good handholds and sloping feet. There is a way to stay right of the bolt line at a modest 5.7 grade; however, the line seems to draw you left at the second bolt. Once you get your feet above the bulge, the difficulty eases.
As of now, the anchor that consisted of a bit of rope, long sling with a towel pad, a link, and a ring...was upgraded to a two bolts with rings anchor. Thanks!
FWIW, you can TR the little face on nice holds to the left at about 5.7...and that offwidth to the left looks tempting.
