This route doesn't appear in Rossiter's or Rolofson's Boulder Canyon guidebooks but I'm sure it's been climbed for a long time. Please add a comment if you know the name of this route.
The route is a good beginner lead as it can be sewn up. The crux is brief and well-protected.
Location
This route is the first crack system to the left of I, Robot. Walk off the top.
Protection
Standard rack. A bigger piece might ease the mind of a beginning leader. A sturdy tree at the top of the route can be tied off for an anchor.
Great route...just a note that I found that a #4 BD wasn't big enough for the crux (if you want it). Next time I'll probably at least bring a #4.5. You can avoid the big piece by placing a cam up in the crux sidepull.
You can really sew this up with medium to big gear--very reassuring for beginning leaders. Scott mentioned his #4 Camalot wasn't big enough, but I found a place to make it work...and even climbed higher and scooted it up, so I guess I found two spots for it. :)
