Description
Easy climbing on positive jugs for 2-3 bolts, then things get really smooth. It would be very easy to go to the left on Wet My Whistle, or the one to the right (since these climbs are all very close together). Some thin slabby climbing lead to an easier low-angle section up to the 5th bolt. After that, you need to overcome a slight bulge. Some fun moves are found here. Then it's some thinner moves to the chains.

Not sure if the first bolt was an original bolt or an addition??? Either way it makes no sense? All the first bolt does is give one the false sense of security that is not found on this route once a few feet past. With the 5.6 rating in Todd's book and the low first bolt I shudder at the thought of this being a great(not) first lead. A fall on this one, especially up near the upper third paints a very bloody picture in my mind. That being said the climbing was fun. May 7, 2019
