One Bolt

Mike and I are trying to plan a mid week climbing trip to go do Dave and Rich route. We have been texting back and forth to get it planned. Today I realized that I didn't know much about the route, and began to be concerned. Mike has a way of getting me on climbs that don't suit my climbing style, and scare me silly (er). Kind of like Heart and Sole in J-Tree. I spent an hour flailing away on that 5.10a slab to crack only to find out it shouldn't be climbed in direct sun or in temps above 55 degrees. It was 90 degrees and sunny. Thanks Mike. So I texted Mike and asked him "this isn't one of your slabby two bolt horror shows is it?" His reply? "One bolt."
