BETA PHOTO: The Crux


Description 

The classic 10b. This is an awesome route. Don't let the roof intimidate you, there's holds up there.


Location 

This is the rightmost route on the tower.


Protection 

6 bolts to Mussy Hooks on chains. Please do not toprope off the anchors. Hang your own draws up there to reduce wear on the anchors.

Route has a drilled pin above the roof moves, looks solid, but was wierd for me to see, being from NH.

All bolts replaced 4-24-09 except 1st bolt which was pretty new. Piton came out with ease.
