| Fun climbing on good rock, but I'd give it minimal stars due to the squeezed in nature of the route and the sub-optimal bolting. |

| Replacing these 20 year old bolts with some re-engineering had been on my to-do list for too long, so today the job got done. There are now three SS bolts with optional gear between the 2nd and 3rd. Mandatory gear placements ensue above where the climb merges with Copilots.
If you don't want to stick clip, a #4 Cam goes nicely in the first big slot. Not P/G rated anymore. |
