Description 

The route starts out with a very high first bolt on some good looking rock. The rock however is very flakey, and the first bolt is pretty sketch with bad fall potential. Getting past the bolts is the crux which ends on a good ledge 15 feet below the anchor. The flake out left should be supplemented with 2" gear to take the sting out of the runnout to the anchor. This route is not recommended since there is a substainial amount of loose rock left of the boltline that I wasn't able to avoid standing on to get to the upper ledge.

Location 

Located 40' uphill and right of Jump Start past a steep section of rock at the Impact Zone.

Protection 

3 bolts, optional 2" cam and anchor bolts.
