Description

This route pulls a series of bulges via crimps and tiny crimps to the ½ way mark. After a brief rest, continue to top on easier, but still technical terrain. One bolt (3 or 4) is tricky to hang/might be dangerous if one fell clipping.

Location

Immediately to the right of Reloaded, on the left side of the north wall

Protection

Bolts to fixed anchors

[Hide Comment] A change of bolt location would be a good idea. When working this route, I took the fall once and with an attentive belayer it was OK, but I used a double draw to avoid that fall again. Aug 21, 2014

[Hide Comment] I wasn't sure about this route after hearing about strange bolt placement/weird fall. Found it to be very straight forward crimping and wasn't uncomfortable at all. Where is this bad fall potential? Fun rock climbing on really good rock though! Feb 23, 2015

[Hide Comment] Not sure about the bolt. Maybe it was moved since 2008 when I RPed it. I just added it as a tick last year since it was a new route on MP. A double draw solved the issue for me than since I could clip one move lower (but I am 5'1" so someone taller could use this hold normally).

This route supposedly went at 13c originally. I guess it is getting easier. Mar 18, 2015

[Hide Comment] It was mistakenly written as 13c in James Garretts guidebook. I rated it 13a when I did it. I got on it again last year and I don't think the bolts have been moved. Mar 20, 2016

[Hide Comment] The fourth bolt is what SM seems to be talking about. It is kind of reachy to hang the draw from the best clipping holds. However once the draw is hung it isn't too bad. The bolt is well placed to protect the thin moves above.

Don't let these comments scare you. This is a great route that seems to get neglected for some reason. Jul 3, 2019
