2 out of 5 stars A climb to remember...

I am not sure of the exact date here maybe someone else can remember.. I Free soloed this route several times before and I was getting ready to do it again... Then some persistent guy whom I don't know, talked me into doing it on his top rope.... (If that is you please contact me)

At the top where the blank crux area is now I pulled more then a square foot chunk of rock off the wall, it was a really good under cling. I instantly came flying off and the rock came raining down on my belay man below. Fortunately we both survived the ordeal... Personally I think this route is harder now then it was before.... I still Free solo but it makes me think twice now, free soloing is not always about how well you climb it also depends on the Rock...

Nice climb for beginners. But tough move at very top.

4 out of 5 stars What size bolts?

Does anyone know what size bolts are needed to set hangers up top? There are other routes on the wall that have the hangers missing and I would like to replace them. I brought nuts from a 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2" screw and none of them fit. Are these mm bolts on the apes wall? Maybe a 5/16?
