Yes, Mr. Miller, there ARE 5 bolts.

More to the point, who's led this thing? Recently?

The first bolt I can do but protecting the thin flake seems a little too sketchy. I believe the flake would break if you took a lead fall on anything placed behind it. Jun 22, 2016

I've led this route at least twice Dover. The flake climbing is about 5.8 and I just ran it out to the second bolt. If you can lead .11 Suicide slab, you better be confident soloing 5.8. Apr 9, 2017
