Description
Another fun slab route on the east face. 10a+ crux between bolts 2 and 3. Easier once you suss it out, but 10b/c until then. This route was stiff exfoliating quite a bit on our climb. Good, long, and with a very well protected crux. There are two bolts at the anchor but no rings. An old untrustworthy red sling was tied between the two anchor bolts 10/5/19, and what appeared to be a newish wire crab. I left another on the other bolt for a safer trip back to earth. 9 bolts. No gear required.
Location
Route GG in the Kroll guide. 2nd route from the left on the east face. Just left of You Can Call me Al, dude.
Protection
9 bolts. Two anchor bolts, each with a carabiner. Most of the nuts were loose on what appeared to be new bolts. Hand tightened all. 70m Was good to have. Once the draws have been removed, climber can swing to climber's right and reach the ground.
