4 bolts
The first bolt is too far to the right and a little off route if you start up the easiest way (up the hollow flake) we missed it and led to the second bolt.
4 bolts to chains. The top chains have the bolts placed directly through the links, an unsafe practice that places an inordinate amount of leverage on the bolt. better to use the shuts to the right.

Second ascent by:
Shuts and ropes
Shuts are located at the top of the route (or Mussy hooks... don't remember which...) 1 60 m rope adequate to rap off.

short but FUN!
Great little route.
Concur that the start is the crux, but still protected by the first bolt!
We felt that the first moves are 5.8
Kudos to Tim for putting this one up.

bolts not needed.
Hmmm.
This route is a pleasant 5.2 romp up the low angle crack. The 2 bolts are un-necessary, as the natural and easiest start is up the 4th class chimney to the right.
Thinking before drilling seems warranted in this case. Let me guess: Power drilling, right?

Needs to be cleaned up.
Agree with the 5.7 rating (rather than 5.6 in the topo in Lone Pine) Route quite unpleasantly loose.

not that great
OK crack I guess but the hollow and loose plates near the top should really have been cleaned off before this route was ever recorded in the book. This route is only 5.8 and the North Face is 5.9 according to a consensus of us at the crag at the time.

Not too bad.
3 bolts, actually. the third is above the thin horizontal crack, quite near the arete. Bring slings to sling horns.
