New mixed route in Cottonwood

Starts about 25' right of main Cottonmouth flow. Follow bolts over difficult rock bulge and angle left to thin ice finishing on "Dancing on a Chalkboard". Will be more drytooling in lean conditions. "Dancing" is a fat WI4 right now.

Thanks. Do you think it's M6? It would definitely go in the summer by someone than can crimp a lot harder than I can. Has enough bolts but I can't imagine being that bored.

Good job. Thanks for the beta.
Might the route go in summer?

The rock is compact limestone with a very unpredictable fragile surface layer in places. Nothing big should come off but we pulled off lots of small exfoliation on TR. Lead bolting would be bold to say the least.

Kudos on the new route. Nice addition to the fun factory.

Is the rock durable? Was the route drilled on lead?

Best,

Conrad
