| I finally had a chance to finish bolting this today. I placed another bolt below the intermediate anchors. Seven more bolts were placed to add a P2. P2 is similar in difficulty to P1 (9 to 9+). The route is about 160 ft. It makes a nice long, consistent 5.9 slab climb. 17, or so, draws to make it in a single pitch. The rock is good. I think that most of the friable stuff is gone. This is a good intermediate route. |

| There is also a left start to this, starting from Tic, Tac, Toe and angling right on flakes to the 1st tree, 5.7 R. Also, the bolts to the left and above P2 don't seem to make much sense. There is a bolt thigh high just left of the top of P2 here. Then, you can climb past 2 more bolts to an anchor. Hmmmm. |
