[Hide Comment] Pretty casual for the grade. A #4 can put your mind at ease near the ground. Good wide stances for gear placements. Do it if you're in the area, but it's short and un-remarkable. Get on over to Popular Science/Golden Flake for something a little spicier. Aug 5, 2012

[Hide Comment] This route needs to be brought up to standard - bolt anchors must replace the tat. a well placed #1 will back up the tat for top roping. Feb 19, 2019

[Hide Comment] This route is not in The Sandtrap but farther along the wall just outside of Dreamscape.
I used C4 camalots: 0.4, 2x 0.5, 1, 2x 2, 3, 4, 5. But you can get away with fewer.
Anchor is now bolted with rap rings!
This climb stayed surprisingly dry after several hours of light to medium rain with low winds.
When you lower, if the first piece or few are tight and keep the rope to the right, upon lowering the rope will tighten and smash into the cams dislodging a few of them. Be wary of this if someone is following or leading on the same gear. Apr 7, 2019
