[Hide Comment] I was at this crag last week and spied two new(?) bolt lines. One is between The Reacharound and Stain in a desperately thin looking water streak, the other is between Golden Touch and Heart Shaped Box in another desperately thin looking water streak. Anyone have a clue what these are, who put them in, if they have gone, and at what grade they went? For the record, I could not see any holds on either route, nor was there any chalk where a hold might have been. Jun 2, 2016
