Description p1- Scramble up low angle, easy terrain about 20' to a spot where the wall blankens. Clip the bolt and crimp out right (cruxy) past another bolt to a good stance. Reach left and clip a fixed wire (other gear can be placed too). Pull a roof and follow great holds to the lip of the next roof. Place some small gear and fire the crux! End at some fixed stuff with fat rap rings. Either bring up your second and rap or do...
p2- Shoot for the very obvious splitter crack in a large roof. Climb through it and follow a horizontal out left, then move back right across low-angle terrain for the belay.
Location BOG Man is easy to spot due to the bolts that protect a cruxy traverse down low. It is on the left side of the main tier, left of Airlie Gardens and right of Welcome to Watauga.
Protection On pitch one, nothing above a .5 Camalot is needed (or can even be placed, really).
Pitch two takes a similar range of gear, although definitely carry the .5. A #2 Camalot provides a directional for the second just past the crux.

| Can be done in one long enduro pitch. Make sure you put some long runners on the gear after the end of the "first" pitch, but before the splitter. I do remember placing a bomber #1 Camalot right after the belay where there's a bit of a ledge. |

| Sam is correct. I believe it was the first bolts placed (that were known) on Grandfather Mountain at the time of the FA. |

| To me it makes a lot more sense to combine these two pitches into a single one hundred foot pitch. |
