Comments: All but one of the fixed heads on P2 are gone. I ended up placing 3 peckers high up. Definitely no reason to hammer until the move before the first bolt, and I'm sure a better aid climber could have seen something I didn't.

Comments: Great cracks for rest day cragging. It looks like you could push the routes higher if you wanted to make a go at the west face itself.

Comments: Fun route. We climbed it in three pitches, which worked well. The first two were ~190 feet with good belays.

Comments: Well protected for stone, but you should be solid on easier (5.6ish) terrain, because Pitch 4 starts with a very long runout.

Comments: Personally, I won't sling that boulder. If you look underneath it, I don't think much is keeping it there. I doubt the body weight of your second could pull it off, but it's not the sort of thing I'd trust for an anchor.

Comments: A pretty mellow lead, but fun. Good stances for rest, clean falls, and great pro make this a good first trad lead.

Comments: Agree with John. MUCH more than 100' on the first pitch.

Comments: It's definitely harder than Jim Dandy, although not by a huge amount. It's more vertical, and the holds are smaller. Some of them are quite polished, too.

Comments: For descent, there is a great rap anchor of slings around a bounder if you climb up and to the right above Hopscotch. They're about 15 feet above the fixed hexes on Hopscotch and in good condition. Single 60m rope rap to the ground.

Comments: Where is the rappel anchor that you're working off? I've always gone over to Golden Earring.

Comments: Great route. Had a bit of trouble finding a good anchor at the top of pitch 2. Guidebook said natural anchor, but nothing was worthy of slinging. Built a gear anchor on the right side.
