[Hide Comment] The three bolts on this route have been removed temporarily (as of 10/24/12) they were loose. The Prescott Climbers Coalition with the help of the ASCA will be replacing soon. The top anchor is now a chain anchor with new bolts. Nov 20, 2011

.4-#2 BD worked great. At the top of the pillar hang a hard right up easy ground then clip a bolt and make face moves to the anchor. I believe this is the intended finish to the route. Nov 9, 2023
