[Hide Comment] I first climbing this by top roping it and then came back and lead climbed it. Very easy access to the top. There is also a chain looped between the two anchors. The rope will rub a bit near the top. Building a longer anchor would help. Nov 17, 2019

[Hide Comment] Chain loop does not provide a clean rope pull, but the walk off is easy. Mar 19, 2021

[Hide Comment] No problems lowering off the chain loop. Bolts are spaced but the climbing is easy. Mar 17, 2022
