Description

Start on Cromulent Choloepus for 3 bolts, then move right to follow the black stained gully. Towards the top, it's practically walking, and I considered ending the route sooner, but I thought walking up the "rocky road" of big quartz crystals and mica deposits was neat.

Location

The black stained gully.

Protection

8 Bolts, lower-off biners. The first bolt may be considered "high", but it's really just a slabby walk up to it. Just don't trip and fall.

[Hide Comment] I added another bolt to this climb, by request. It's about 7 feet below the original first bolt. Apr 21, 2019
