3 out of 5 stars Fun Eliminate

There are a number of variations on this route.
The lower section is where the better eliminates can be had
Right of the bolts is roughly 5.9
Left of the bolts goes 10d/11ish IMO
Taking the direct line up the bolts and avoiding the easier holds to the left and right is significantly harder (12a) and great fun.
