Description:

Not typically steep but loads of fun. Several variation starts, passing, mixed gearage and several bolts to belay slings which should be replaced with an off route rappel station.

NOTE: Many climbers get Bear Hunt confused with a nearby bolted line. The unnamed bolted line starts at the left end of the Bear Hunt ledge; the real Bear Hunt (which has only two bolts) starts about 15' right of the bolted line. ( Think the unnamed route is Bear Cub, 6 bolts , no gear)

4 out of 5 stars Bear Cub?

Think the unnamed route is Bear Cub, a 6 bolt sport route at the far left . Anyway , I lead this for the first time, 5.7? , maybe, but a good bit of it. Cruxy from 3rd thru 5th clip. Still a good / fast way to the above trad routes or top rope for Driving and Crying.
