UPDATE: Apparently this decent trad lead has now been fully bolted. Sad. Not like there weren't already enough fully bolted moderates in the area.Clip bolts OR....1 bolt 2/3rds of the way up and mostly smaller cams. You might want something bigger like a

Description:
Climb up the slabby dihedral left of "Hey There Fancy Pants." Follow up to a single bolt and come to a ledge below a roof. The anchor bolts are on the face of the roof with a ring dangling out in space to serve as your target. You might want to bring a whisk broom as it was quite sandy, especially at the ledge before the anchors. Maybe this will improve in time. Like many routes in this area, circa 11/08 there was a tag glued to the wall and engraved with the route name at the start. (Note: Details such as first ascent and length from Ray Ellington Red River Gorge climbing guide!)Descent Options:
Bolted anchors and a rap ring on a cable loop. Rap off the ring in the cable loop (check this or add a sacrificial carabiner for redundancy) or use the anchor bolts in some manner. Not sure if they are rap bolts however!

Newly bolted route
I actually liked this climb. The crux is definitely the top trying to get the anchors. Awkward stance, but nice jug to hold while clipping.
