Power2U, if you clip into the bail biners on the last two bolts, you can climb up to the anchors, take the draws on the anchors, then take the fall. it's clean and fun.. but if you don't want to take it, it probably wouldn't be all that terrible to downclimb.

Thanks for the info. on the 12 Wes. I am thinking about going back out there on tomorrow and I guess I'll put it back, although I have to say that leaving odd draws hanging all over a beautiful cliff is a bit of an eye sore, especially one random draw like that.

As for the 11c I might grab the draws and put up some leaver bieners for easy lowering. Then I can return them to Sprag.

Don't risk it! Everyone knows that they're my draws. I can wait til fall to get them back.

Til then, I'll just use Ho's draws. Maybe I'll climb harder!

I left the draw on Abiyoyo. It makes it much easier to work the hard move. I left it to tempt the Indiana crowd (Tim, Greg^2, JJ, Jarod)onto the route, but didn't mean to leave it forever. I don't think Rick likes seeing draws everywhere. Maybe I'll try to get it back sometime. Without it, you have to bust a move or haul up a stick. The fall isn't bad. I finally found a way to work the hell out of the left undercling, smear the feet and fire for the good hold. I'm not strong enough to crank on the little dinks that are up there, but others have done it this way.

As a kid I always used any kind of flammable aerosal spray and a lighter. Worked great. Attempting this while hanging should provide quite an entertaining evening for those in attendance.

One of these days I have got to get on that route. It looks incredibly beautiful.
