oh there's PLENTY of runners (I know it looks like a runout) !! I've never seen a more over-bolted climb. There's literally a bolt every 4 to 6 feet even on easy terrain (someone must have had extra $$ for all these botls). You really end up skipping bolts because most of the climbing is way easier than 5.7 and because the bulk of the time is spent not moving but clipping bolts. We used no gear on this one - absolutely no need.
It's a fun route with great views of the park though (two people could easily do this in one hour I think - took us a bit longer with 3).
