[Hide Comment] (This route isn't appearing in the mobile app.) This route has a very beta-intense boulder start. I imagine it must be super fun for someone who loves bouldering. Once you figure out the many moves within the first 2 bolts, it's still physically challenging, but definitely fun. Figure out your balance, center of gravity, pulling, pushing, crimping, and finding the out of sight holds. It's also enjoyable to climb as part of a group. Well protected, a fall from first or second bolt causes a huge swing into air, and some rope abrasion on the rock. Easy breezy climbing above the 2nd bolt. Apr 16, 2018
