Description

This route is presently the fourth line from the left. The route is pretty clean. Watch for small rocks to break, all the big holds are solid. There was some chossy dirt to the right for most of the route. There are two short vertical sections you have to pull over and up to the slabby part and these felt like 5.8 moves. There are also some reachy moves, lots of mantles, and hand foot matches. I used the bigger holds and avoided the small ones that could pop, but most of the climbing is fun 5.6 moves.

5/2022 Update: This route name was changed from Far Left to Drop Down and Get Your Eagle On. It has also been retrobolted to make it safer and has a new anchor at the top to make lowering off easier.

Location

The route is on the far left. Belay behind the trees so you don't get hit by rocks.

Protection

15 bolts to the top. An 80 m rope is sufficient to top-rope the entire route; a 70 m rope is NOT long enough to climb this route as a single pitch. Since it is over 120 feet there's a belay station 1/2 way up to rap down from the top with one 60 m rope.
