[Hide Comment] This might have been a good route at one time, but when I climbed it, it was caked in mud. It seems like the route is in a water course maybe and a lot of sand was washed down from the rim, right on to this route. If the route were cleaned up, it would be pretty good. No problems on the bolt spacing. Apr 26, 2017

[Hide Comment] we cleaned up the sand on the route, but the following week a swarm of bees formed a hive in a crack about 15 feet to the right of the route, 25 feet up. May 23, 2017

[Hide Comment] Active bee hive right of the route. Didn’t bother us though. Grassy and muddy. As others have said, this route appears to collect drainage, grass and dirt from above. Otherwise, good rock. Oct 14, 2023
