Wet Itchies 

Watch out if climbing this route this year (2006); half way up the route in a finger pocket is a bees nest and I got swarmed and stung by the devils. The pocket is right to the left hand side by the 4th or 5th bolt; beware. Other than that, excellent warm up route! Solid 5.9+ if the bees are swarming and stinging you.:)

Funny, there was a bat screeching at us in a pocket on this route.

I replaced the anchors on this route today, May 14, 2010. They have been in dire need or replacement for years and I finally got around to it. The previous anchor station was at a break in the wall where the route turns from vertical to a low-angle couloir. They are now located about 10 feet higher and to the right, out of the water streak. You have to make the mantel move over the top to get to them now. I replaced the previous anchor station with a new protection bolt. I also checked all of the other bolts and they are tight and good to go. I think I'll replace ALL of them with glue-ins this summer.

Maybe this route will get a little higher quality rating with the new anchor station. I've always thought it was better than 1.5 stars. More like 2.5

Enjoy!

This is a nice route for beginners. Good holds and lots of places to rest.

Thank you for replacing the anchors however the new location doesn't make sense to me. Would have been great if they were below the lip to avoid rope drag and an odd ending to an otherwise nice climb.

This climb was a bit dirty. The end was really weird. There is a nice rest stop where the anchors should have been but instead you have to mantle over the top into a pile of moss and dirt to get to them. Okay, but there are better climbs around.
