Rob Roy
Mar 5, 2024 · Follow. Serious lead, fantastic climb. First bolt is 20’ off the ledge w no way to anchor the belay and the moves past that bolt are the crux. I doubt you could prevent a ground fall if the leader fell at or near the second piece of gear. Zack led and placed a marginal #3 six inches above that first bolt; next piece was I think a decent totem but an offset may have been okay a little lower.
