No Animals Were Harmed During the Bolting of This Route

Description

No Animals starts in a broken crack system with some loose rock, but good gear. Head directly up the wandering cracks to gain a small ledge. Place a couple of pieces here. Pull onto the next face for some fun moves on good rock, clip the first bolt, and then head through one more to reach the anchors.

Location

This will be the second route that you see as you head up the hill. Belay from the small ledge built into the hillside. Start up the obvious crack system and head directly up to the upper face.

Protection

Single rack from #1 Metolius to 1", quickdraws, chain anchors.

A great lead for practicing gear placements and a safe, bolted crux at the top.

[Hide Comment] A lot like a Mulkey route. A good lead for the 5.10 climber looking to place some gear followed by a safe, bolt-protected crux section at the top. Aug 27, 2011

[Hide Comment] Mostly 5.8/5.9 movement below the bolts, but then a drastic change in climbing style once you get to the 5.10 crux protected by bolts May 22, 2017
