On the second and crux pitch of Forbidden Fruit, the fresh scar of a broken
hold is visible. No longer 11b, the move is now very thin and committing.
Consequences of a fall could result in injury as it is not possible to clip
the bolt before the now harder crux and the bolt below would not prevent a
fall onto a sloping bulging ledge. The rest of the routes' run-outs and
crux', are fine and on grade. Either an additional bolt is needed or a new
rating of 11+ r. Should anyone know Andy's e-mail, if you could forward it
to him I would be much obliged. Happy Trails,
