5.10c X Todd Vogel Route

This is an old Todd Vogel route done in 79' or 80' it features hard moves to a first bolt (spinner) then 5.10 past it. the next section is X and may have tiny wires or available pin placements up to another old rusty bolt. More sustained steep slab to a fixed KB in a seam, then up and right to the anchor for Cheers and Jeers.

Quite a bold lead, bitd, I talked to Todd about it recently and it can be left to rust but others should respect the style of the FA (while it lasts) and not squeeze routes in next to it at this time.

2 bolts, FP and tiny wires or pins. Don't start up this one unless you are willing to solo it.

FA: Todd Vogel & Norman Boles
