Fun Route! Short but great movement! If you have any webbing consider leaving some behind at the anchor. Jun 8, 2018

Watch your rope going up to the second to last bolt, it got totally wound around my leg somehow. The last move favors people over 5'10", but is doable with a little burl for those less vertically gifted. Could go on less bolts and a couple small pieces if you wanted to eschew bolts 1,2, 4, and 7. The bolts are well placed for clean falls and setting directionals though. Jun 25, 2018
