4 out of 5 stars short but FUN!

Great little route.

Concur that the start is the crux, but still protected by the first bolt!

We felt that the first moves are 5.8

Kudos to Tim for putting this one up.

1 out of 5 stars Cr@p rock!

This route is a pile. Good moves, but very hollow and flaky rock. Whoever put it up should have their head examined.

4 out of 5 stars Shuts and ropes

Shuts are located at the top of the route (or Mussy hooks... don't remember which...) 1 60 m rope adequate to rap off.

2 out of 5 stars 4 bolts

The first bolt is too far to the right and a little off route if you start up the easiest way (up the hollow flake) we missed it and led to the second bolt.

4 bolts to chains. The top chains have the bolts placed directly through the links, an unsafe practice that places an inordinate amount of leverage on the bolt. better to use the shuts to the right.

1 out of 5 stars Needs to be cleaned up.

Agree with the 5.7 rating (rather than 5.6 in the topo in Lone Pine) Route quite unpleasantly loose.

2 out of 5 stars bolts not needed.

Hmmm.
This route is a pleasant 5.2 romp up the low angle crack. The 2 bolts are un-necessary, as the natural and easiest start is up the 4th class chimney to the right.

Thinking before drilling seems warranted in this case. Let me guess: Power drilling, right?
