Bolt added...fun removed
K. So somebody (some chump) added a bolt below the final chains...which takes all the fun out of the route. I would venture to say that this is no longer 10c because of that bolt. The crux (other than the finger pain down low) is clipping the chains while pumped at the top while looking at an 18 foot fall. I miss all the whimpering that used to come from all the people trying to bag this "easy" 10c. A valuable lesson in sport climbing (how to finish a route while pumped, and whimpering) has been destroyed by the addition of that bolt below the chains. A great route has been made entirely unremarkable and average by some climber with a drill who was also undoubtedly unremarkable and average. I rate this route no harder than 5.9 now. You can rest everywhere, the moves are not mysterious. 5.9 with that loser bolt.

Great features.
Cruxxy start for the second and third bolts. Great features after that with cute little jugs half way up. Requires decent footwork on the pebbly start.
