Description 

Getting to the second bolt is a bit spooky but the holds you are trying to reach are good and easy to clip from. There are no chains so you need a sling to donate to this climb. This may be fixed by the time you get on it. The anchors will probably be moved higher so the rope doesn't get hammered so badly when you lower off. The crux is at the top which I always like.


Location 

Start is the same as Stone Free moves right into darker steeper rock.

This climb was bolted by Glenn Todd and Tony Lusk. Odds are that it had been climbed before last weekend.

Maybe we should just call this "Glenn's Route" until the real FAist (or someone) gives us something better.

This is a totally kick-ass route. It gets steadily harder as you go, has nice movement, and has a final difficult (and hard-to-read) crux. Excellent. Perhaps should be named "The Wanderer" if all the dodging I did on the upper part is normal.

Now has CHAINS on the lower anchor which is where most sane people will end it.

John,

Are you implying that I am insane, since you saw me climb the upper section above the first anchors?

Pretty sure Dean Brault and Jim Scott did the FA.

Eric, I bumped my rating up to 12a too. Really good route. Although not as striking looking as some, I'm now thinking this is the best route at the steep.
