Description 

KGB has, I think, two crux sections. The first is the thin face near the start and the second is pulling the roof. This is a delicate climb with fun moves and sustained pulling. A good rest under the roof enables the on-sight or redpoint.


Location 

Creek-left, KGB can be spotted on your right as you enter the corridor of the waterfall area. Look for the short roof 60 up.


Protection 

Seven bolts, two shut anchor. Well bolted.

Greg, the shut is still the original. Lot's of threads on the bolt...I hand tightened it today.

Incidentally, the original 3 shut anchors up top have been replaced with 2 fatty petzl hangers about a foot below.

Painful ledge-decking potential between bolts 2 and 3 on this route. Be careful there!
