Brad spotted bolts and decided to climb this one bolt route.  It was one of those "What were they thinking routes"  with a summit anchor.  Brad what's that formation called?

Was that the one with a faded Red sling on the 1st bolt? Prolly a Jim Mc route.
I'm not worthy.

The formation is, if I am not mistaken, the Snail and the route would be escargot.  If the formation that you and Brad climbed on was between the Frog and the Hand.

The MPG so far have been in the high/mid 30's.

Factor- that Red poot sling was on a project on the trail up to the frog if i remember correctly.

I don't know if he named the route escargot, I was climbing Get a grip when he and bob were beefing up the very poor anchor before he sent the 80 foot route that had a bolt 15 feet from the top.  I happened to get to follow that wonderful piece of history just as the sun went down.

Ok, that must have been Ski Jump.  My best guess.  Brad will have to confirm.
