Bowling Ball and Chain

This route is located on the upper tier of 'The Bowling Alley'. Climb the gully to the right of 'Take the Termites...' up to a ledge at the base of 2 bolted routes on the upper right hand side of the main wall. This route is the rightmost of the 2 routes, beside 'Oil Pan Hook Shot'. I am not sure what Rick was thinking, but he must have been desperate to put new routes up, this one could have been left out.

The climbing starts atop a block past the first bolt, over a little roof on good holds and then up the slab to the last 2 bolts on the arete. Here the climbing is just not fun, straightforward, but to keep away from the corner makes a challenge, as there are few holds on the face. I would only do this route if you happen to expend the energy to check it out, without reading this. Do something else... :) It is pretty hard to get to the anchors, as they are over the edge a bit. If you try it, lower to the anchors from a tree above.

7 bolts - 2 bolt anchor.
