Description
This would be a classic if some moron hadn't chopped the bolts. The one time I climbed it, one bolt existed to the right of the crack; it's gone. People that pull this nonsense should be hung by their tongues over hot coals. Getting off the ground is a good boulder problem in itself. From there on it's grip city to the crack. The way it stands now, it's X. TR seems the reasonable way to climb it at this point.
