Polished run out slab and near worthless bolts. Bring a knife to cut the rotten webbing off the anchors. The third pitch anchor is a bad looking bolt and a rusted out pin that fell out and is hanging on a thread of rotten webbing. Bring a bolt kit and a knife. Not sure where the crux was, but it all felt like pretty sustained 5.10 to .10+. If you go by the pitch by pitch ratings in the guide, it's a really sandbagged route. Bailed after pitch 3. Bolts were nearly falling out and I didn't feel like climbing the next pitches 30ft+ runout over the one manky bolt and hand placed pin anchor.
Scary, even for the apron.
