Description
Starts 10' to the left of Black Plastic, going up the middle of the face. Laeger & Knuckles originally had 2 bolts placed, but I don't recall seeing any when I was trying to decipher where the route was.
Protection
Cams 1.5 - 3"; were there originally 2 bolts on this? Still there? Or was Mr Laeger describing an entirely different line in the thread for BPS? Is it possible this line is waaay farther left than we think? -- I just noticed a photo in Miramontes' 2d Ed with a stray 'X' on the wall out to the left of Dead Man's Party; any chances this is Laeger's route?
