only 2 glue-in bolts and a 30+ foot runout to anchors
started left. recommend taking medium-sized cams to protect. while clipping 2nd bolt, could deck. while clipping anchors could deck on large ledge. wouldn't recommend to climb if 5.8 is your leading limit.

skip it
guidebook says 4 bolts, I only climbed past 2. Huge jugs and slightly less than vertical angle make it too easy to warm up on. **I know glue ins are supposed to be better/stronger, but damn if they don't look flimsy.

Easy jug haul
This climb can be hard to locate. It's a really easy climb and it's pretty dirty.

Easier than 5.8
The route is easy to protect but topping out is a little dirty.
