Description

This route follows the rightmost bolt line (which shares the 1st and 3rd bolt with the adjacent route to the left).  The face is flat and near vertical the whole way which makes this climb fairly sustained and quite fun.  Lots of variety.

There are anchor bolts at the top and bolts on the face, but all are suspect in my opinion as they appear to be drilled shallow. There is also a fairly long runout to the top with ground fall potential.  A natural anchor for top rope can easily be built for these lines by slinging the large block just behind the anchor bolts with an extra long sling or cordelette.

Location

On the northeast face inside the corridor.  This route start just below the lowest bolt on the face.

Protection

Three bolts, top-anchors
