[Hide Comment] This should really not have any bolts near it as it has a very nice crack but with the bolts it makes for a great opportunity for new leaders to practice placing some gear while having the safety of quickdraws.

Even with just the bolts, it is helpful to place a medium piece of gear in the flake below the first bolt)

Protection in the rest of the book would be small cams.

I thought this was a short but super fun climb! I wish it was longer! May 17, 2017
