Wish it were longer

Beware of any fixed draws. When I did this, one of the draws had been eaten 90% of the way through by the rock. I replaced the dogbone with one of mine, with a lot of layers of tape to protect the nylon for a little while. But that last draw before the anchors, if it's going to be fixed, should be a chain.

for the lesser wing-spanned rock jock, this climb could be considered "b/c" for the interesting move at the top the gain the jugs, but for the average built climber (of about 5'8" and up) i'll give it an "a" rating. p.s. the heel hook ledge at the third bolt? had a brick sized loose chunk of stone that we pulled off the other day. careful on this one. also, consider building an anchor at the bolts near the traverse rope as there is a bit of exposed set of 5.4 moves to gain the first bolt.

Really fun climb, Mainly positive holds with one side pull and a fingernail crimp. Other than those 2 moves it seemed easy. The new book rates it 11.b not 11.c.
