The jug hold pulled off by George on Sept. 16, 2007. Thankfully, it did not alter the difficulty of the route much.

One of my favorite routes at Las Conchas. The 5th bolt probably needs to be replaced. It is not loose but rock is missing around part of the bolt. I think there are 6 bolts.

Great route! Big holds on overhanging rock. Checked out the setup this past weekend and found all bolts to be in good condition. Somebody replaced the anchors with new springer hangers too.

I pulled off the useful tickmarked jug handhold for clipping bolt #2 today, it came off when I was gripping really hard trying to lead this climb. Sorry- I didn't mean to, and didn't realize my own strength. An almost as good hold is just a little bit higher.
