Description
The route name could also by the "Quickest Drill". Traverse left from the
Cowboy Boot Crack
ledge to the leftmost line of bolts. It is a long exposed traverse with zero protection. Once you clip the first hanger, head up. The crux is just above the second bolt. It is a balancy step up. Commit to it, clip the third bolt and get to the anchors. This can be top-roped (like
Trigger Finger
and
Cowboy Boot Crack
) from the large ledge, barely. The belayer should tie a knot in the end of your rope (as always) and be prepared to step up the rock a bit.
Addendum: follow the first 2 or so pins on
Trigger Finger
. When
TF
goes straight up, you can follow Fastest Drill to the left. It shares the same anchors as
Unzipped
. They are kind of left of center at the bottom of the dome (about even with the climber's feet in the
Trigger Finger
pic).
Protection
5 QDs for 5 bolts/pins plus two anchor pins (all of them solid).
The anchor pins have been replaced with 2 large bolts.
