[Hide Comment] There have been several loose rocks and small boulders at the base of this climb, since trundled, so be on the lookout for others if climbing in this area. "Lay Out" had a similar issue at its base too, since cleared. Apr 30, 2020

[Hide Comment] I expect this area sees more climbing now due to covid-19. The rock isn't fully solid and users might take note. May 1, 2020

[Hide Comment] The top-left anchor bolt was a little loose, hand tightened it but didn't have any tools to secure it properly. The rest of the anchors on the way up were solid. Nov 25, 2023
