| Great line, with clean, independent climbing for the whole 100 ft. The crux is some unusual liebacking maneuvers during the last half. |

| To the person who copped the anchor at the top of this........you are a jack***. Wild guess here and correct me if I am wrong, I would bet Gaines put those up when he bolted the route and the chopping was not by him. It looks like s**t. Takes some sand and epoxy and do it right for crying out loud (if you're gonna do it). There is no where to make a gear belay directly on top for that route unless you haul some #6 and #5 and build it under the boulder on top or out to climber right putting your second on course for a pendulum.

| As of 10-14-2012 there are two "bolts" with rap rings at the top of this climb. I say "bolts" because they looked more like a hardware store screw-eyes. |
