Description

This is an oddly bolted route between Two Shot and Bud Ruble along a 70 foot arete. The climb starts on the north face of the arete and then wanders along a small ledge to the right (west) facing portion of the rock. It seems like the route was originally designed to be climbed on the north side with the edge on your right. Bolt #4 was originally placed close to the edge but was replaced by one further along the west side of the arete, almost completely out of arm's reach. Either shimmy out on a small ledge beneath bolt #4 with a difficult move to reach the bolt, or stay on the north side and stretch as far as you possibly can to clip. The remainder of the route is straightforward. A two bolt anchor is on top of the shelf where the arete ends abruptly.
