flows...typical RRG route, but much easier (and a bit short) than the usual pump-fest. Downclimb is interesting as well.

Good warm up and easy photo opportunity. The camera man can climb the slope to the right to catch that first lead.

It's a 5.7. No tricks or hidden holds, just a short 5.7.

Left anchor bolt needs a wrench. My nut tool did not fit. Made several full turns to finger tight only.

I like it a lot, spin the bolts a few times to keep them from unfastening at an inconvenient time

Bring Locktite and cresent wrench for both Triceratops and Danger Mouse. Great routes.

My wife got to lead this one. Good for first timers. I lead it trad, a great pocket wall, with lots of perfect spots for tri-cams, for new trad leaders, playing around on a sport route....

3rd bolt is broken off on this one. It's a 5.7 so you can probably skip it but here's the heads up.
