[Hide Comment] I’ve done this route a couple of times over the years. It’s got a bouldery start that has gotten more slick. Sandbag at 5.7. There is zero gear above the third bolt and it would be a groundfall if you fell before the chain anchor. It has its own anchor, does not share an anchor with the adjacent 5.9. Aug 4, 2023
