Description

This old route has recently received new bolts—the community is working on grinding down or removing the olds bolts depending on the condition. Tiptoe around on the black rock, and you'll find yourself on large pockets with high tension moves on the overhanging rock with good feet.

[Hide Comment] Does this route acctually have new bolts? I only saw an anchor and one bolt near the top and one near the bottom. In the guide book this is shown as the middle route in the cave. Is this wrong and is it acctually the one with draws on it on the very right side of the cave? Or am I just getting confused Jul 14, 2021

[Hide Comment] Yes, it has new bolts and currently has draws hanging on it (this is the furthest right route in the cave).

Sistine Chapel (furthest left) also has new glue-ins and SWMCC removed the old bolts.

And, to the right of the Sistine chapel is two bolts and an anchor. We are working on rebolting this as well to complete the route. And, maybe add a few variations. Jul 14, 2021

[Hide Comment] Okay awesome, sorry about the confusion, sometimes I rely on the guide book to be right too often lol. Good luck on the other climb! Jul 18, 2021

[Hide Comment] Absolutely major props to the people responsible for cleaning and rebolting this route. Not only is the climbing amazing, the holds mostly clean (there's still a little choss) but there's freaking permadraws so you don't have to go through the nightmare that cleaning this route would be. As of 2021, this is an absolute 4 star route and definitely worth the hike to get here. Send it. Sep 12, 2021
