Description Suggest change

While roofs are common at this crag, so are ledges that allow you to rest (a bit like the Gunks).  While short, this route is more continuous and it isn't easy to rest.  Clip the bottom bolt with an alpine draw (it is only there in the unlikely scenario where you fall while clipping bolt #2 from the ledge).  Figure out how to clip the first perma-draw from the ledge.  Then downclimb and step across the rope.  The climbing at the bottom of the route is on the right side of the bolt line (see picture).  Bring a draw for the 6th bolt!! If you complete the climb you can clean your top draw.  The bottom draw can be cleaned by scrambling up the casual ledges at the bottom.     

Location Suggest change

This is the furthest right route on this section of the crag.  Shortly past this route the rock breaks and becomes low angle with lots of ledges.  It is the bolted line to the right of Jungle Gym.  

Protection Suggest change

6 bolts to an anchor with chains/carabiners.  Perma-draws hang on the middle four bolts.  These draws get almost no sun, so they will be good for a long time.  Clip the first bolt with an alpine draw (less rope drag) and bring a quickdraw for the 6th bolt.
