Comments: The last bolt before the anchors pulled out with two fingers about two weeks ago. I noticed that it looked funny and I pulled out on it with very slight pressure and it pulled out about halfway. Not being sure of what I am supposed to do with that, I left it there.

Although, in my humble opinion, I would rate the first move 11a. Be prepared for skin ripping crimpers. I disagree that you could bottom out between the second and third bolts (maybe someone added a bolt.). I felt very safe on this climb and it is perfect for taking whippers on. (I took a few on the way up.) I have tak... more >>
