Description A nice technical climb up the right side of River Wall. Climbs the bolted face just left of the obvious chimney corner (the Box). Carefully reach the 1st bolt and attack the face above. Several catchy sections involve delicate feet to reach the next holds. Edgy, pumpy, delicate and fun.
Protection Six bolts to two bolt anchor.
Stemming through the upper crux. Wee bit harder fo...

| This route actually has seven bolts. The book doesn't show a bolt in the lower roof section but there is one. Two coldshuts anchor the top. If you like bolted face this is an excellent route and worth the trip. |

| Excellent route. Don't blow the second clip! The bolts were spaced a little far, but just where you need them. It required a wade thanks to the little dam below. The area from Livewire to Neurosurgeon was the only spot not flooded. |

| I think it's the 3rd clip that is the main one not to blow (although it wouldn't be good to miss the 2nd either). There is a committing move to get to the clipping stance for bolt 3, but the stance itself has good feet, so just making the move is the main thing. Very cool crux move (think mantle) and the easier upper section is pure fun. |

| This is a really great climb! We were out at Buttonrock and there were no other climbers. Some of the other climbs are sub-prime, but this one is definitely a fun one... really good. |

| This route one of my favorites this year. A very tricky lead, but everything is there. 10d. |

| Diggin' this route, felt a bit sketchy at times but good moves up to the finish! Kinda run-out on a couple of bolts! Good lead, Scotty, I'd agree with you on being a fav this year! |
