Description One of my favorites at Red Wing. Its' the longest route on Barn Bluff. Once you get past the first 20ft of lie back flake its smooth sailing on big jugs.
Location This route is the farthest to the right on the Annadonia wall. From the parking lot trail take a right when you see the American flag and keep going until you see the flake.
Protection Bring at least a 50m rope. 9 Bolts to the anchors. Please use your own gear for top rope.

| The anchors have been moved about 10 feet lower, eliminating the last two bolts, and some dirty chossy climbing. The 2nd to last bolt is about 5 inches below the new anchor. |

| the new anchor station has created a dangerous sharp rope groove. Id recomend extending the anchor down another 4 feet for toprope sessions. |

| I second Josh. The old anchors were positioned better. With the new ones it's impossible to avoid rope thrashing on a sharp edge. |

| Climbed this on July 8th, 2008. This is a great route, deffinately my new favorite at Barn Bluff.
I replaced one of the carabiners at the anchor due to it being worn about halfway through on one end. A good reminder for me to always bring a couple spare biners and not to use them for belaying. |

| The anchor needed to be moved due to large chunks being pulled off and rained down on people belaying. I was present in 2008 when a 20+ lb. chunk landed right next to the person belaying. If you are concerned about sharp edges, bring a hammer and smooth it out. |

| Sorry BBourgeois, but I disagree. As much as I do appreciate replacing the crappy anchors, I still think the choice of the new anchor location is pretty poor given the ledge directly below it. I also won't bring the hammer to modify one of the best routes at RW to accommodate the arbitrary anchor placement. With time though, and enough people being lowered, a groove will probably form in the rock and there won't be a problem. Slow lowering may be sufficient to avoid the risk of rope damage. Another option would be to rap but nobody ever does that. |

| A great climb for Red Wing. Nice and long, almost like two different climbs in one. And yes grooves are beginning to form already. |

| We climbed this last weekend and to mitigate the rope drag, we for one belayed from a good 15 back from the wall, and also stuck a sweatshirt under the rope up where it lays across the rock. It was bad news for my buddy's sweatshirt, but at least it put our minds at ease about the rope. |
