[Hide Comment] Just a clarification. The guidebook says to finish right on BoltsNBurgers chains. It's much better to finish on left Ohm's Law chains and avoids a lot of problems. Oct 8, 2014

[Hide Comment] I agree, it's much easier to finish at the Ohm's Law anchors, but difficult to clean the route if you don't have a second following and need to retrieve your draws. Pretty nice run-out to the last bolt. Makes for some fun flights! May 31, 2016
