Wes,
Do you mean Refraction Error? I have been on that thing on TR. It is hard 5.13 all day long. Crack at the top stays wet.

Nope, there is a seriously steep crack under the actual arch that runs about half way. Maybe 50-70 feet of near roof crack climbing, all sorts of sizes.

No, he's talking about the fingercrack under the arch.

That sounds good. Stealth ascents are definitely highly illegal.

Yeah, forgot about that one. I've looked at it pretty close...looks super cool.

But Refraction Error too....good one Lurkist.

That thing looks sick.

rockman, hey i was just wondering why, if the bolt is optional, did you place it??? is that a new thing we do at the red??? i read the new climbing mag. and it had a artical on the red and i think it talks about two routes that are bolted cracks.... i dont think that is to cool, does anyone else think that is the wrong message being sent out to red climbers?

Not all "cracks" take pro. And for this route, the bolt protects a face boulder problem with a really bad landing. So, it is optional, as long as you won't fall, just like every other bolt.

God told me that if you put a bolt on a crack you should be flogged. That's what he said.

Wes, well then i guess you should just head-point the climb first. i dont think you should bring the route down to your level. he did say it was optional...

i do understand that not all cracks take pro. so in that case i guess you can bolt.
