Description:
What a waste! Whoever bolted this is an idiot! It takes gear. And the route just sucks! And thegrade they gave it is way wrong. I'd say 5.5.

Relax, it is a practice route.
It is what it is. It is short and if you are a hot shot I'm sure it will not interest you. For some of us mortals it is a good place to warm up or show a beginner a few things.

Chop????
Don't chop this route....even though it takes gear, no trad leader in their right mind would even think about doing it. Maybe a good one for someone who wants to be a trad leader, they can plug gear, and clip bolts for uber security and have fun thinking they're leading trad....

Was ok. Wasn't too hard and was kind of boring. It was really short.
