Five bolted hangers, ring anchors, all new. A piece at the low horizontal crack is advisable for leading this line. Be aware of ledging hazard from third bolt. Setting top-rope from rings is very hazardous with no tie-in, done but not advised.

Description:

See 'Black Rain'. First two bolts provide the highest difficulty rating, if you stay directly in line along the bolts with no reaching in from the side. To do that, expect wide stemming especially toward the top.
