Description:

(FA not published... Dennis Turville as per personal conversation) Nice route. This is the first bolted route to the right of the lower falls (5.7). (dry rope is prefered) The route starts with a single bolt just above a small bulge. The second bolt is a bit high, but positive climbing should keep you moving upward. Also, don't cower at the first bolt. The friction really isn't that thin. Many leaders have backed off after clipping this bolt.

3 out of 5 stars Most terrifying 5.7 in LCC

Getting off and above the first bolt is insane... Much more heady than the 5.8 next to it.

3 out of 5 stars Tricky

Strangely, I found this harder than the 5.8 to the right. Running water on the route didn't help. Bailed on the onsight attempt and did TR after the 5.8.

3 out of 5 stars Good lead practice

The friction is freaky, but not too run out.
