Forearm Follies (to the first set of chains)

Hey, I added the shorter version to the guidebook:

This route is super cool, and with the new bolts, really worth doing. Fun boulder problems for the first four bolts, then a good rest, then super pumpy to the first set of anchors. 4/5 stars no doubt. I put it in as 5.11d, as Terry suggested that grade, and I totally agree with him. Much harder the 5.11b. If consenus is that it is easier then I will change it down.

Hell yeah! That thing is so much fun! It was part of Spragwa and my day of obscure sport at Military. Cool holds and fun moves!

Isn't it nice to be able to update the guidebook to tailor it to your sends? LOL. I was all excited to add "Windy Corner, to the first set of anchors" and "Up Yonder" to it.

Power is nice, but this (and those) route(s) really deserved the entry for sure.

Just out of curiousity, why are there 2 sets of anchors? Weren't the higher ones there first?

Always been 2 sets. Top anchor requires a 60m to lower, with the rope stretch if I'm remembering right. Awesome route! CM has resurrected many routes like this one. Much thanks muffin man!
