Description 

This is a good solid slab route. It might seem stiff if your not accustom to slabs. This climb makes a good start to the trad route, Hole.


Protection 

5 or 6 quickdraws will get you to the two bolt anchor.

This climb is steep, thin, and a bit runnout between bolts...but hey, that and the excellent friction is what made it so fun to lead!

Fun climb and definitely a bit runout between bolts two and three. I believe there are only four bolts, then the anchor. Good climb to do then TR Drop Zone using the anchors above it. Enjoy.

This was my first outdoor lead and it was scary as all get out. I would definitely recommend it for a warm up to lead Drop Zone, or just to screw around with!

A fun route that will make you think because you actually have to climb a ways between bolts! Nicely sustained almost to the end.

Great climb and actually very well protected. There was one or two more bolts there than were listed in the Heel-Toe guidebook.

Getting to Fall Wall is a bit dicey though for a beginner area. There are a few bouldery 4th-5th class moves required that you don't typiclly rope up for.

Great intro to slab climbing. Well bolted, with a stellar view from the top.
