Potential road closures in winter. MORE INFO >>>

Description 

Climb the mixed line of bolts, while placing a couple cams along the way. Start off with two cams, followed by a .5 camalot. Just before the second bolt place a small C3 or alien, reach up high and clip the bolt. After this, boldly move upwards on easier terrain with no pro for a good little jaunt.


Location 

This is the very first set of routes you see when you approach the crag. Walk a short distance to the right when the approach trail comes to a "T" and you must choose right or left. Blind Black Babies is the rightmost route and has the 2 obvious bolts.


Protection 

5-6 draws, some trad some sport
small cams
no nuts
material for the anchor

Probably want 5-6 draws plus material for anchor, not 3 draws.

I think there are only two bolts nowadays, one right off the ground, and another protecting the bulge.

Yes, two bolts and a purple TCU works well to protect before the second bolt.
