Description Suggest change

Steve begins where a line of 2 bolts used to be, starts directly up headwall of the cleft, and ends at the pitch 2 anchor of blue eyes. There are 13 bolts in total (including one of those old bolts I left as a relic) and the crux is sustained crimping 75% of the way up the pitch. 

Notes:

- 80m rope probably gets you off of Steve safely. But play it safe and bring a tag line (or just climb upper pitches of blue eyes). 70m rope definitely does not get you to the ground. Steve is essentially equivalent in length to linking pitch 1 and 2 of blue eyes.

- Steve feels significantly harder than blue eyes although grade is fairly nebulous at the moment.

Location Suggest change

Start the same as for blue eyes however instead of traversing right on the ramp for 20 feet, look straight up and follow the bolts.

13 bolts
