Description 

This route takes a line up the center of the "Trash Compactor" at Pebble Beach. Boulder up to a hard to see pin. Traverse right to an undersized bolt, pull the crux and plug a couple TCUs and lots of small/medium nuts to new anchors. Fantastic route!


Location 

Pebble Beach between Ju-Ju and Environmental Impact


Protection 

One pin, one bolt, a couple TCUs and many small/medium nuts

Not PG13.... Takes great mid size stoppers, and small cams

I agree, not PG13. For a Trad face climb, there's plenty of solid gear, never more than at your feet for any move. Great climb!

one more vote for not PG-13. If there was a bolt at every bomber nut placement, it would be a completely safe sport climb.

Quality all the way, though.
