Description

This route starts at Pocket Warmer, but instead of moving up, step right onto the obvious jug foothold and head right to your first bolt. Once you are even with the first bolt head up on good holds to 2 chain anchors with carabiners (Don't take the carabiners, I cut the chain length to run with the biners).  This route was bolted with the 1st time leader in mind, aka - big holds, close bolts, and short.   As with any new route some holds might still be a bit crispy, but it felt solid on my last cleaning.

[Hide Comment] Caught me off guard hitting the bulge making the clip at last bolt which felt hard for a 5.6 (for a 5'5 leader at least). Fun climb but would not recommend for a new leader. Dec 9, 2018
