Description Suggest change

P1. 5.6. Follow a right-trending series of 6 bolts to a dirty ledge with loose rock. The anchor bolts are obvious up and left. If you are continuing to the 5.7 pitch Cleaning the Coral, clip a traversing bolt to protect the follower on the ledge.

P2. 5.10. Continue above the anchor through 5 bolts. Traverse under the roof, and clip a bolt before committing to the crack above with gear placements. A final bolt protects the crux. Trend up and left to a bolted anchor. Please respect any loose rock on the ledge.

P3. 5.9 PG13. From the P2 anchor, climb left on a bouldery hand traverse and clip a bolt overhead. Move right and up on 3 bolts to finger size gear. Clip a bolt through the crux and finish up and right at the rappel anchor. You are now below the magnificent Wave formation...pick your pleasure. Alternately, you can traverse right from the P2 anchors on the ledge to a rap anchor or continue past a tree to the third pitch 5.8 of Acidification.

Location Suggest change

Bottom Feeder begins 40 feet to the left of Acidification. See the photo.

Protection Suggest change

Mixed climbing, mostly bolts. At the headwall crux, a medium piece like a #2 or #3 BD will protect the crack.
