red tape on one toque wall

[supafly]

hi.. was doing some climbing at one toque wall on the weekend and noticed there was some red tape one of the bolts of the anchor on top of the climb next to sparkletoast (i forget the name).

anyone have any idea about it? the bolt felt good but i was still wary of using it.

All I can tell you that it's been like that for about a year now. Just make sure to clip the other bolt too.

thanks tradrenn.. any idea what the grade is of that route, especially the top part that's protected with a bolt?

5.7

I clean that route last fall and i just completely forget to remove the red tape on the bolts...there's nothing wrong with those bolts ,was just to let other climbers know i was cleaning that route. Let me know what do you think about it... i grade it 5.7 and i named it Keystone's crack.

ok great i'll remove the red tape and let you know how it goes.

i'm guessing the 5.7 part is the slabby/blank headwall?

Gear or bolts have nothing to do with the rating of the route.

i meant as far as technical difficulty goes the blank part looks the hardest part?

Sorry dude, I can't tell, no beta, all I'm telling this days is where the start is.

Just lead the thing man, it is a 5.7 after all, right ?

fair enough
