We climbed just left using that old I-bolt and a cam stuffed in the upper Horizontal 20 something years ago.. didn’t own a power drill and we were to lazy to hand drill an anchor down climbed the crack to the left and forgot about it. Jul 27, 2020

[Hide Comment] Stay left of the bolt-line and use the old I-bolt for easiest of 5.10. Stay right of the bolt-line for much tougher and more interesting route. Aug 25, 2022

[Hide Comment] clipping the first two bolts was pretty spicy with huge potential to hit the ground or ledge. Dec 14, 2022
