Felt harder than jolt, but not as fun.

Loose rock
This was a good climb to get you ready to do jolt. This climb has some exposure but not nearly as much as jolt. I 1-hung this because I came to a spot that had loose rock. I couldn't see a way around it at first so I just took. After lowering a local told me that this rock has been loose for some time and it is okay to pull on. It has held so far...I am still weary of pulling on a loose rock.

Wow
I liked this better than Jolt. In fact, I would go so far as saying this is my favourite climb to date. I thought it was closer to 5.10a than 5.9, but each to their own! Cannot recommmend more highly. If you manage to get lucky and find a time when both Jolt and Dolt are free, have a friend climb the opposite one and steal each other's footholds.

Well
Fun route, but the top is full of loose rock. the holds you need are solid for the most part, but a lot of the periphery stuff is loose, so be careful.
