Description Suggest change

This is the direct first pitch to the Glass Menagerie, and climbs straight up to the anchors at the base of the open book pitch. I've only tried this on toprope, as it would be a quite serious lead. Has it been repeated? Make cool moves on crimps and large features to get to a stance below the second bolt. Start climbing into the crux and make a tricky clip, then pull a few nails hard impossible moves that I couldn't quite figure out. A few more doable crimp moves lead you to the top-out.

Protection Suggest change

2 bolts and small cams, maybe some small nuts as well. Probably best to give it a tr before leading. The climbing up to the first bolt isn't too hard and seems to have decent gear, but going between the bolts looks terrifying. The actual crux is very well protected once you clip the second bolt though.
