FA: unknown
Nevada > Western Nevada > Reno Area > Thomas Creek

Description

Start at the overhang just below the first bolt, the crux is below the first of 3 bolts and the climbing gets easier the higher you go.  Use a stick clip or be tall to protect the opening hard moves as a fall from just a few feet off the ground could send you down the hill.  

Somebody marked it in chalk as 11a and that felt about right to me.  

I tried to toprope this climb before I lead it but all the loose rock at the top made me wish I had just lead it right off the bat.

Any extra info on the climb or the crag would be greatly appreciated
