Description:

Scramble up on the large ledge under bolt 1, around the bulge to bolt 2, then head far left on the easiest features (line of least resistance) to the top of the cliff before traversing to the right several feet to the anchors. Be mindful of the wrecking ball potential onto the bulge below bolt 2 if falling above it.

2 out of 5 stars poor bolt 2 and anchor locations

Bolting scheme is less than desirable on this one. It doesn't follow the line and seems unsafely contrived to make a hard finish to where the anchors are located. Bolt 2 ought to be up and left to protect the natural line. Likewise the anchors ought to be where the climber is likely to go several feet to the left.

I really tried my best to make it work straight to the anchors. That was futile. Perhaps it's very height dependent.
