There are three lead bolts on the pitch with one for belaying on the ledge. I belay off to the left at the pin and lone bolt. If had my way I would remove all the lead bolts and replace the “lone” anchor bolt with a single bolt for belaying. I would add one bolt where you need it up and right at the stance where you place the yellow alien down low to your left. Sooner or later some unlucky sole will rip off one of the shit pieces of rock you pull on to get to the awesome crack above and take the ride of his/her life. Oh well…..that climbing for ya! I have rapped from that anchor a couple of dozen times. I have a 60m rope. I have to down climb like 3 feet. No big deal.

Bill, the second pitch has three bolts. All unnecessary IMO. The one place on that pitch that the rock is total crap and the gear would not hold a ten food fall has no bolt. Irony is strong here. I have asked Jim to take out the three bolts and add one right below the “butt hole”…..he of course thinks is perfect the way it is……oh well. I will still climb it.

Trip: Beacon Rock - Young Warriors, Crusin to SE corner Date: 7/30/2008 Trip Report: Got out to beautiful Beacon Rock about 4 pm and met Jaime. Ran down the trail to the base of Young Warriors to find I forgot my shoes in the car (first time I had forgotten something in the car in over 10 years), so I ran back up the trail to get them….. Young Warriors is a varied route at Beacon, climbing corners, slabs (crux), faces and who can forget total choss (second pitch)……JIM ADD A BOLT. YW is 5 pitches. It connects with the final pitch on the classic SE corner climb to make 6 pitches in all. We toped out to the hikers trail in about 1 ½ hours. Walked/ran down trail to base of cliff again. Jaime led Crusin (5.7) and cruised it placing only 3 pieces. I led the second pitch of the SE corner up to tree ledge (this is where JH found a pile of shit), the shit was not there. We unroped and soloed together up to the “land of the little people” where we did not hang out due to showers were coming. We could see and smell rain coming. Off again up and over the notch and down to Uprising. We cruised Uprising as the rain started. As we reached the trail the rain was pouring now. Thank god it is summer or this would have sucked. We walked down the trail in a complete downpour. We started climbing at 4:30 and toped out twice and got back to car at 7:45. 1,200 feet of climbing after a long day at work is great…….thanks Jaime. Climbing in the gorge us superb. Especially in a rain storm in the summer. Gear Notes: Small rack Approach Notes: Sandals work great, five minute walk
