2 out of 5 stars Last climb of the day.

There must have been 30-40 at Cosumnes this day. Set one TR on Test Piece. We used other's ropes and must have climbed 5-6 other TRs. Finished the day on this route b/c no one was here. IMO, probably a 5.7 or easy 5.8. Two anchor bolts were present. One 4' sling just made it - 6' would have been perfect. Nice climb to finish the day off if you are climbing with new climbers. Not a good climb if you wanted to end with a 5.9.
