Description

Please click the photograph of my topo for beta. Three pitches with bolt belay anchors placed with my first bolt kit and many attempts with high school friends. There are long unprotected but easier slabs. The initial corner is classic and maybe the crux.

Bolt note: years later, Dave Kozak and I both worked for Bill Forrest in the early 1980s. Bill had an impressive transducer device to test bolts etc. We tested our bolts after drilling them into a polished block of granite  One of my old 1/4" Star bolt sheared at 1,200 lbs. Ed Leeper's 1/4" buttonhead Rawl never broke. Instead the granite failed at 4,000 lbs.

Protection

Bring a rack of wires and small cams, mainly for pitch one. I'd bring up to a #2 Camalot, just in case.

The original bolts were weak 1/4" Star Dryvins. I think Dave Dunblazer replaced some of them in the 1980s.
