Description One of the newest route at Wheeler Gorge.
Location Starts the same as Exodus and heads left.
Protection 4-5 bolts, 2 bolt anchor with one rap-ring and one open shut (an odd pairing).

| First Ascent party called the route 5.6. I have only climbed Exodus which shares the first bolt or two; however, I remember the start of that route feeling at least 5.8 and perhaps harder. Please share your thoughts about an appropriate grade for Dust Bunnies. |

| Not 5.6 at all. More like mid 10 Wheeler style |

| Finally got on this route today--the initial overhang is definitely 5.10-. Midway up the route, the climber is forced to pull on loose, hollow-sounding flakes for over a body-length of climbing. If a hold were to break, you'd take a huge, swinging fall. Scared the s*#t out of me. |
