[Hide Comment] As of 9-21-16 this route and the one to its right are out of order. I was replacing the bolts with new glue in wave bolts and I squeezed my caulk gun to hard and broke it. So I could not finish the the job. Should have them back on line within a week. Sep 21, 2016

[Hide Comment] 4 bolts that are closely spaced. I thought the 1st move off the ground was the crux just because I had trouble finding a foothold I liked. Fun route. Apr 14, 2024
