Comments: I believe that bolt above the Metamorphosis midway belay is meant to protect the traverse left into Urine Trouble. It was replaced recently.

Comments: Great beta photo!
At the time I did this route, there was another bolt just up and right of the two indicated in this photo. It's somewhat hidden in an angling crack/shelf (visible in this photo just up and right from the other two bolts). It's just to your left as you climb past it, and looks solid as of Nov. 2009.

Comments: I have found this route to be excellent for people who maybe aren't as used to heights. It's solid enough to give a beginner enough confidence to get used to, and begin enjoying, being up high. It's also a great first trad lead.

Comments: Somehow I fell out of the handjam over the roof on P2 yesterday, I think someone pushed me but not sure. Anyway I took a nice whip on the pin under the roof and it held strong. I did have it backed up with a small cam, but all the force was on the pin. Drop test complete on the pin, at least for a little while longer.

Comments: Also was one of my favorite easy Eldo routes. Today was the second time I'd done it, the third time in past couple years, so feel like I'm getting to know it. Have to say I'd rate the overhang on P2 harder than .5, more like 5.6+..._especially_ if you miss the handhold on the right that lets you to easily move your right foot up. (Can't imagine a 7 yr old having that reach!)

Comments: Did this climb yesterday with my seven-year-old daughter and Tony Anzelmo. Maybe the 5.5 rating is a reasonable "Eldo rating" but it seemed quite a bit harder to me. The main thing we learned is that the hardest sections on both pitches are significantly harder for a 4-foot-plus child; Tony ended up having to be a human ladder so that my daughter was able to make it past these sections.

Comments: I would say hard 5.6, but that makes it fun. The gear is there. Mind your footwork on the upper half. Pitch 1 linked with Reggae makes for two great pitches of climbing.

Comments: Compared to other ratings in the canyon, this seemed like 5.6 or easy .7 to me. It was one of my earliest trad leads and I was never sketched, but I'm 6'2" and have a big reach, so I'm sure that factors in a lot. My dad's been climbing in Eldo since the '70s and told me they always called it 5.6, for what it's worth.
