The climbing snakes left and right over tiny hidden ledges and suprisingly solid rock. If you touch anything loose or hollow, you're off route. The climbing is wildly exposed as you traverse over the roof of the west face, and the very old short bolts don't inspire any confidence. The route has three bolts old enough and spaced enough to keep you VERY awake.
To start, clip the first two bolts of Blowhole and move left to the first bolt, then move right on ledges and back left again on more ledges. The physical and mental crux is arriving at the third bolt. On lead it felt like 5.8 until I realized I missed a hold. The most exciting moves are finishing up the arĂȘte after the last bolt.
Classic! Can't wait to see new bolts on it! Aug 30, 2015
