I've been gym climbing for awhile now, just top rope stuff. But now I have a rope and two slings and want to do some top roping in J-tree. What rocks/routes have top roping options (where I can scramble up the backside to set up the top-rope) where the anchor is bolted. I don't have cams and shuts and extra rope to make my own anchor. Just two slings! Please tell me there are some top roping options out there for someone without alllllllll the gear. I just need two bolts on top of some good easy routes. Thanks for your help!

Thin Wall
Hemingway (approach from the far right side, lots of scrambling)
Echo Rock (scramble up the backside and then down 3rd/4th class slabs to bolted anchors)
Most formations that half walk-offs (ie, the ones you can get on top of without leading anything) don't usually have bolted anchors. There's more than a few climbs that are completely protected by bolts, but require a gear anchor at the top followed by a 5.2 downclimb to get off the thing.
