These anchors are looking pretty rusty if there is anyone out there with a better drill than my dull hand drill.
Also wondering if there was a name to the route that goes straight up to the first pitch bolted anchor in the series of these 3 anchors. It is to the left of Lost and Found. Haven't seen anything in the book, but maybe its in the newer books. Sure its been done before as almost every inch of cliff has been climbed at some point. Something like 5.9ish maybe, pretty run out.

Are talking about the face that is a little runout at the bottom then skirts the overhang on the right followed by one or two thin harder moves before the anchor. Not sure of the name, but I have done it several times and is not a bad climb. Runout where it is easier, but gear for the harder parts. Thought some had told me that it was 5.8, but I would not argue with 5.9.

That description sounds maybe correct? I climbed a straight arrow line to the first bolted anchor. I probably wouldn't argue with 5.8 either...possibly easier by moving a bit left or right in a few places as well...not sure I remember there being gear too close to the harder sections, but I didn't really stop to play with gear or make much effort to go off to the sides.
