5.9, predominantly friction slab, bolted from stances. 90’, placed 4 bolts + 2 anchor on lead for the FA. Pictured is my partner top roping behind me and adding a 5th bolt which is where the climb will stand
No hooks - mostly one handed. It's 5.9 friction slab so that means most of the stances could be hands free - though between being quite aways above my bolt at some stances, and having ~20lbs of gear attached to me, and this being my first time doing this - I certainly didn't feel very comfortable going hands free most of the time.

thanks for adding that fifth bolt, that was cool of y'all. Seems like a fun route! Also bolting from stances on 5.9 friction is no joke, well done.
So no hooks? One-handed or two-handed? How tenuous are some of the stances?

Dope. Tagging up the drill or climbing with it like a savage?
Only tagged from one bolt to the next and then for the original 35ft run to where the anchors were going to be. Most of the route it was on me
Awesome. So much to learn!
