Description

This climb is left of

Fine Young Canibals

. It starts off a fat ledge with a high first bolt. This route has good rock and interesting moves, BUT there [was] no anchor, and topping it out [was] no fun. I post this route as a warning, that bailer is on 3rd bolt for a reason.

Per

Wes O'Rourke

: this route is now well protected with a lower first bolt. It climbs the clean wall on perfect pockets all the way! This thing is on you the whole time, so stay focused and crank the continuous moves all the way to the new ASCA anchor.

Location

It is 40 feet left of that trash pile

Fine Young Canibals

.

Per

Wes O'Rourke

: it ascends the pockets through the otherwise blank patina panel.

Protection

4 bolts and [previously] a 2 bolt anchor with rap rings. These were up to ASCA standards as of 4-21-19.

Per

Angela Lee

: the new first bolt was added to protect first PG-13 move. Originally this climb had no anchors. New anchors with rap rings were added in 2014(?) as part of the Penitente rebolting project.The 2-bolt Mussy hooks were equipped by SLV Climbers Alliance on 5/9/2020. All of the hardware was donated by the ASCA.
