Description Suggest change

This fun route climbs easy, runout slab from the one bolt anchor to the first protection bolt on less than stellar rock. A fall before clipping that first bolt would have dire consequences! It may be possible to place a small cam or two before clipping the first bolt.
Using a locking draw on that first bolt would be a wise choice.
Continue past 5 more bolts to the chain anchor. At this point the climbing is quite fun, edges, pockets, and better rock quality. The crux is around the 5th/6th bolt. Staying left is a bit easier.

Location Suggest change

This route is on left side of the slab around the corner to the right of 'Hot Pink Socks.' From 'Hot Pink Socks' contour down then up along the base trending NW. After about 40' or so work your way slightly up and left on a narrow ledge to a bolt. This is a single bolt belay, about 35' off the deck.

Protection Suggest change

Six bolts, one belay bolt at the start, chain anchor on top. Possible small cams, but we didn't use any. They may not help much...
Make sure the second is tied in or that there is a knot in the end of the rope!!!
