Description
Bolted by Jim Thurmond, during the first year or so of Robinson’s development, as a great test piece for the stronger climbers visiting the area. The start of the route continues to grow longer, as a bouldering problem with a sit start in the cave. Enjoy the boulder problem or give it a go as a standing start from below the first bolt perma-draw.
Location
Just to the left of Pillow Fort at the bottom of the stairs.
Protection
4 bolts + anchors

1) Started on the right side of the cave and worked into the route.
2) Sit started as far back in the cave on the left hand side.
I thought both variations felt around 12b, with the sit start probably being a little harder.
“Old Prospector” I thought was a fitting name if this was an FA. Oct 31, 2020
