Protection 7 bolts to ring anchors

| The pockets were drilled. The holds are mostly jugs with a sloper or a small pocket thrown in every few moves. Don't go looking for this climb however it is a great warmup for the other routes in the area. |

| the first ascent date is incorrect,
while i hung in slings covered in drill dust and in between police chases on the road at the base the radio announced kobains body had been found
this was a fanstastic place back then before the cops were instructed to keep it tame for the sport climbers who are uncomfortable with the domestical realities of unrestrained capitalism |
