Description
Listed by the Ruckmans & the new granite guide as John Doe 2 and described as "2 bolts that don't seem to have a home", this mixed route has some fun moves and a powerful crux section.
Scramble/climb up the easy blocky section between the starts of
Total X
and
Fortress
to a ledge below the large alcove. Lieback your way into the alcove before clipping a bolt and committing to the powerful crux, a long balancy reach to a decent edge. A few easier moves bring you to the second bolt and another cruxy section of crystal pinching.
Edit: name & FA info finally clarified!
Location
Located on the Watchtower in between
Total X
and
Fortress
, easily identified by a big alcove about 1/3 of the way up the route.
Protection
2 bolts that look a bit battered. A #2 and maybe #3 for the main (hollow) undercling, some micros or small nuts for the upper flake.
Ancient rusty bolts/chains on top, better to rap off.
