Second bolt is spinning badly and a tad runout to the third....makes for an interesting route

This crag is old enough to warrant some retrobolting.

not sure why this is listed as mixed unless it's b/c of the rounout between 2nd and 3rd. however, you're clipping the 3rd from a HUGE ledge (if you're < 5'7"ish you might have to make a small move with a descent hand, but still not bad)

Ha, you beat me to it brentucky, seriously though, its not more mixed than the rout next to it.

The mixed part is going to the first - a nice small cam in a horizontal. Otherwise just boulder up to the first bolt or stick clip it. And, yes, this area really needs some bolt fairy love.

Replaced the ancient spinners with stainless glue-ins. Thanks to Patrick, Bob, Jason, Dan, Aaron for the help... some truly scary old junk on this wall!

If anyone feels like it, smash in the old studs on this and Sundance with a hammer. Also the old closed-shut anchors need to be removed with a 9/16" crescent wrench

Despite Dustin calling this a sport climb in the 5th edition guidebook it still has a very oldschool feeling with long runouts up high. Lots of fun and mental for the grade. Thanks for the new glue-ins!
