Description

Good stances and closely spaced bolts make this a good intro to the grade. The crux comes low as most smith rock routes do, and eases a little to the anchors.

Location

Look for the small dihedral to the right of chopper and nightshade. It goes directly up the corner.

Protection

6 Bolts. Anchors with chains.

[Hide Comment] If you fall just before the third bolt you will likely hit the ground. Easy climbing just before the third bolt, but be warned. Aug 9, 2019
