| Real good route on thin holds, very sustained. I avoided the crack up high, staying on the face. |

| Too many other people around, so we just toproped the first pitch. Didn't have cams, BITD. |

| The bolts at the top of the route (midway down the face) could use some maintenance. One looks to be an old buttonhead (?) and the newer bolt has a spinning hangar with a loose nut. It was halfway off the projecting bolt shaft when we came by the anchor! |

| There are 2 new bolts, one in second dish and one in third, above right. Original 1/4 bolt in first dish not yet replaced, so climb in from left on good rounded holds (no pro) unless you want to run it out on 5.9. |

| Very cool route on bomber though very slick rock. A bit sporty to the first protection. I find the bolt on the route poorly located and also unnecessary as there is a solid piece about 6' to the left. A bit dicey(ankle breaker) above the bolt moving left to a good jug and good protection. |
