Seems like Paul Muehl and others used to refer to this route as "Bloody Direct". Jul 23, 2011

Rap rings on the top? Can you rap down and clean it or does someone need to follow to clean? Jul 13, 2012

This is a fun but less frequented route. Good protection after the usual runout (ie unprotected) start that it shares with the normal route on Bloody. Don't remember needing anything bigger then one #4 camalot. Enjoy! Jul 21, 2012
