Description 

The right most bolted line. A little dirtier than the rest. Still a good climb.


Protection 

2 bolts up top for the anchors and I believe 8 draws. Careful on the rap, use a 60 meter rope and aim higher in the gully.

Bolted 5.6 routes don't get better than this. This wall in general is a terrific place to teach new climbers or leaders. A good addition to BCC.

There are 2 chains at the top, and only 6 bolts on the way up. I don't think the route is 110 feet (33m one way) since you can do it with a 60m rope. A 50m rope comes up a bit short. So the route is probably somewhere between 85 and 90 feet.

The route starts out easy up to the first 2 bolts. The area between the second and third bolts is the crux. After that it gets real juggy. Nice ledge at the top near the chains to set up an anchor.

I agree with the length assessment. I did not record this route on MP, though I drilled it. I don't know how to change the info beta if that is the case. I am happy to learn these routes are getting lots of attention and drawing the crowds away from the slips.

Like Andrew said, good wall for beginners. It's an easy lead. Good for dates too!

This is a great 5.6 climb with many variations. Good belay area. The first bolt is a little high, but you can protect the bottom part of the climb with gear. this climb is east facing so it gets morning sun and afternoon shade.
