April Fools, 5.9

This route is not worth it in my opinion. First of all, it is only a three bolt start different from an adjacent route, Quaker Oats, 5.9. And of those three bolts, we skipped the first one. Don't know what Todd was thinking here. I don't like any of these routes to the right on Solstice. Here the Kaibab limestone is loose and sharp. Too many good routes to the center and left to consider these. The crux on this route is the scoop at that third bolt. This is a harsh route on the fingers. Bomber two ring anchor at the top (2007). Solstice Wall, 5.7-5.11d, Woodbury Road Crags, Woodbury Desert Study Area, Joshua Tree Unit, BLM Utah, February 5, 2007.
