Description

This route is to the left of

Kid's Climb

. Follow the line up through the bolts to the anchors with rap rings. Have fun!

Addendum: this route may have originally been intended to follow the bolt line making it probably 5.11. However, it is rather apparent that one can head left after the 2nd bolt to make it a moderate lead for most folks. Originally, the 2nd bolt was the 1st fixed gear on the route requiring some less-than-perfectly-solid gear placement and a bit more anxiety to starting the route.

Protection

This was updated to 4 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor with rap rings. The first bolt

was

a bit off the ground, hence the "R" rating, now no longer an R. Bring a stickclip for safety.
