Description 

Reunion is located on the crystal covered face just left of the Varicose crack. You can start from the ground in the middle of the face (harder) or start on the arete to the left, moving up and right to the first bolt.

The route is pretty runout, and has only two bolts, the first of which is quite a ways off the ground. If you choose lead this, be very careful and don't fall! As mentioned in the comments below, you can always traverse to the right and put something in to the Varicose crack to lighten up the runout.

Protection 

Two bolts, big eyebolt and couple of glue-ins up on top.

Location 

The route is located on the south face of the AMC Boulder, about 10 feet left of Varicose (big fat crack).
