Alpine Line
Long and pumpy. It's been repaired a bit and is better than is used to be.

MISSING TOP BOLT
One of the top bolts has blown out, and there is only one there. Partner needed to leave some hardware on the next one down to ensure a safe descent. I went to 3rd bolt.

Bad Anchors.
Climbed it about a month ago and it deserves it's name. The anchors at the top (of P1) are in hollow rock and I was told by a party that climbed it today that one of them is pulling out and it was terrifying lowering off them. Not a climb I plan on doing again unless the anchors are replaced.

Alpinish for a Sport route
Fun climb, but some spots left me a little nervous while leading it. One of the top anchors is loose and they're behind a deep ledge so top roping is somewhat sketchy for rope drag. There are also some big holds at the top marked off b/c of cracking.
