Run out
Five bolts. The first bolt is hammered flat against the rock. It's possible to thread a sling through.

some fun relaxed climbing
amazing scenery, with some fun easy climbing. Not the greatest workout, but sometimes it's nice to get out there for the sake of an easy approach, good company and better weather.
