What protection? Three bolts in the center section, one slingable knob. Other than that, nothing.

Description:
This fun route ascends the northern ridge of The Spongs. An airy climb with great views, it also lives up to the usual Pinnacles easy climb reputation -- long run-outs. Fight rope drag over the arete and rappel the east face (60m rope mandatory) from a new two-bolt anchor.

Very fun climb. I loved the airy feeling. Run-outs and rope drag were worrisome, along with the rusty bolts. Later had fun toproping 5.6 <i>Holes</i>
