Sales Pitch

This is a fun route, the only drawback is the rusty old bolts. Climb up the face past 4 bolts, then into some underclings (bring some small TCUs to use here, I used a green alien) and on to the anchor.

The first and fourth bolts are quarter inch but decent looking, but the middle two bolts look really sketchy: homemade-looking hangers and super rusty. Also, the anchor only has one bolt but it can be backed up by a really good red camalot placement.

This felt easier than the guidebook rating of 5.10d to me, but maybe that is because I was trying so hard not to fall on the sketchy bolts.

This is at the

Sales Pitch

area, high on the west side of the

Challenge Buttress

. Hike up the talus field and the climb will be on your left near the top of the gully.

4 quickdraws and small TCUs to protect the final moves. Optional red camalot or equivalent to back up the single bolt anchor.
