Description
This is the way Bubble Boy is usually climbed...Bubble Boy Direct uses the old camo painted bolt (1/2", bomber) that protects a fun boulder problem down low.
That bolts still there. It's still the best way to do the route, but starting off to the left is now protected and fun and makes another classic moderate for the middle of the crag to go with Erics gem, Old Ladder.
The bolt line has been straightened out some, which shifts the climbing towards better holds and better flow. The dicey run out on the finish has been eliminated as well.
Throwing out 10c for a grade. Those who find the best holds first go and like overhangs should find it easier..if you grab the wrong stuff or get wigged out on bulges, you might find it harder. Give it the grade you like best and then head on down to the comments section and argue it out with your favorite grade arguing friends!
Location
Right of The Old Ladder route, start on white rock with a little pocket shaped like a fish, clip a new glue in bolt from a good hueco and keep clipping up through the overhang and easier climbing to the top.
Protection
7 bolts to the anchor
