MISSING TOP BOLT
One of the top bolts has blown out, and there is only one there. Partner needed to leave some hardware on the next one down to ensure a safe descent. I went to 3rd bolt.

Onsight ascent by:
Bad Anchors.
Climbed it about a month ago and it deserves it's name. The anchors at the top (of P1) are in hollow rock and I was told by a party that climbed it today that one of them is pulling out and it was terrifying lowering off them. Not a climb I plan on doing again unless the anchors are replaced.

Alpinish for a Sport route
Fun climb, but some spots left me a little nervous while leading it. One of the top anchors is loose and they're behind a deep ledge so top roping is somewhat sketchy for rope drag. There are also some big holds at the top marked off b/c of cracking.

My last climb of the day but my favorite by far
Gets a little scary at the top if this climb is hard for you. I really liked the line though.
