Only 3 people have ticked this route... is it really that bad? Who's been on it who can give an opinion? Is it worth trying?

It's like Return of Chris Snyder but way more bouldery.

I have never been on Sand, but judging from the quality of rock just past Up Yonder, the name probably says it all.

I witnessed a fall on "Sand" that resulted in a bolt being pulled out of the rock. Some very good climber was running laps on the route. On his last attempt he got too pumped and took a fall. During the impact on the bolt the outer inch of rock blew out, bent the remaining nub of the bolt in the rock and then pulled completely out of the rock. The climber ended up 5ft. from the ground and slammed his girlfriend into the first bolt. Thank god she was using a grigri because it completely knocked her out.
