Comments: Seems off route... go up the gully until past the tree, then head right onto the face. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Comments: As of 3/8/09 the rap anchor consists of one sling of unknown age (looked okay though) and one new (added today) piece of 7mm cord with two rings. A really fun route with great views of The Third and Boulder.
Try to throw your rope out from the wall to avoid the prickly crap at the bottom that gets all over the rope and then all over your hands as you coil damnit.

Comments: Anchor at the top of Fountain of Youth is in bad shape. See comments on the FoY page. Recommend finding a different way down.
EDIT: Anchor replaced with new hardware thanks to Jason, Matt, ASCA and ARI.

Comments: Yikes! The anchor at the top of FOY is in poor condition. One bolt moves in its hole just by poking at it a bit. The other bolt seems solid but is fairly rusted and BOTH hangers flex uncomfortably under body weight.
EDIT: Problem solved thanks to Jason, Matt, ASCA and ARI!

Comments: - combining pitches 1&2 (60m rope) gets you to the goods faster. Saw no sign of the p1 anchor so just kept going. A 60m rope barely makes it to the first tree on this ledge. Bring some runners if combining these two pitches.
- agreed that the hanging belay at top of p3 is uncomfortable. Wish we had linked with p4.
- DO THIS ROUTE! It's so money.

Comments: Was here today and saw someone putting in a new bolt on what looks like Free At Last. Hopefully this was a replacement and not someone altering the existing line?

Comments: After the fun move at the start of the 5.6 variation, the rest of "pitch 1" is a slog, try not to get your shoes too sandy in the gully. We did the route as one pitch with a 60m rope. The upper half however is great fun and worth the scramble up the pitch 1 gully.
Found 3 solid placements in the small crack at the back of the ledge in the left facing corner. Has anyone climbed that corner? It seems to have a pin scar near the ledge.

Comments: I don't think those red flowers are paintbrush, but then there are so many varieties.. the plant surrounding the flowers is Mormon Tea/Green Ephedra. And is that a kleenex bloom on the left??
