Very easy to TR the bottom wall by scrambling up to the left. There are two sets of bolts. The lower set is out on the face and are a bit older but seem fine. A fall could potentially pull the block off where these bolts are. Better to use the top set of bolts that are two Fixe bolts connected by a chain and a nice rap ring to come down off of. These are located on a nice ledge about 7-8 feet up and to the right of the bolts on the face.

We should try talking with Ogden City to see if we could get those wires moved further out on the face so they are not in the way.

Unfortunately, the Ogden Area Climbing Guide has no first ascent information. I don’t have any of the older, out-of-print guides; maybe there is some info there?
