Description

Crux is the starting moves. 4 well protected bolts on the face.

Not sure who put this "mini route" up, but we used it this last weekend (Oct 2017) to set up a Top Rope from the top bolt (4th Bolt) to teach Basic Rock Climbing Skills. The Bolts are SOLID and easy to clip on the move. I went above initially to look for bolts on top to set up an anchor and there are none. If you want to set an anchor on the ledge (the wall going up behind the climb) bring Cams, Hexes, Large Nuts and a good length of Cordelette... It's dirty cracks, but could be made bomber real easy.

You could set some cams up back from the ledge (10+ feet) in the crack of the next wall if you wanted too to belay a second up this little route, or a top rope, but then you would be dealing with your rope constantly being being rubbed over an edge and dragging dirt down on top of you.

Location

About 50yrs beyond the bridge (going up the mountain towards the falls) look on the wall to the left for tab painted bolts. First one is about 8 ft off of the ground. If you top out, walk off to your right and you can either sling your rope around a large oak about 100 yrds up and rap or down climb the 4-5th class or go up another 100 or so and walk down a more defined draw.

Protection

Four Quick Draws, Cams/Nuts to build and anchor to belay a second, or just go sit way back from the edge and take your chances.... NO FIXED anchors on top to build a belay from...
