Bolt Ladder

Description

A1 aid climbing or 5.10-5.11 free climbing.

Following the bolts as closely as possible yields a line in the 5.11+ range that is fantastic. Wandering left of the bolts down low and right of the bolts up high (sometimes 6-8 feet right) yields a line in the 5.10- range.

[Contributor's Note: I haven't actually led this route free to the top of the wall as the top 7 bolts scare the hell out of me. What I have done is lead the bottom half of the route and finished by placing gear in the thin cracks out left. This variation is recommended.]

Location

Follows the obvious line of bolts that angle up and right begining from the left-hand side of the wall.

Protection

Bolts: a little of everything, spanning several generations of fixed gear.

Top anchor consists of a large manzanita and a coupl eof 1/2" to 3/4" pieces.
