2nd bolt spins and is a little tricky to clip. Would be a good idea to bring a wrench to tighten it down. Otherwise a great route! Jun 20, 2016

There are now several more spinners and the anchor bolts needs some love. - Trev May 20, 2018

The anchor appeared to be ultra mega bomber, not sure if Trevor saw something that I did not? Trevor, if you read this could you please elaborate on your comment? Was the stone suspect? (Not trying to be pesky - just looking out for future climbers.)
I didn't notice any spinners other than the 2nd bolt. This route is incredible and certainly not to be missed!!!!!! Thank you for bolting this masterpiece! Jun 4, 2018

the hanger for the 3rd bolt is currently at the base of the route. we would have put it back on but we did not have a wrench. Jun 25, 2018

Replaced 3rd bolt with new 1/2" SS sleeve bolt. Inset panel led to constant loosening of the wedge bolt that was there. I also tightened all the other bolts + anchor. Hardware courtesy of the ASCA, consider a donation @ safeclimbing.org Jun 28, 2018

Thank you for replacing the 3rd bolt! This climb is a must/do! It starts off cruxy at the beginning to a beautiful dark flake/crack crescent thing. It’s fairly sustained from there with great movement and jugs at the end to reward you. It felt longer than some of the other 12a’s, which was enjoyable. Jul 15, 2018
