Flying Salamanders (Short)

This route was developed for my 9 year old son to be able to begin leading at Index.  It is well protected and will most likely become popular for entry level climbers at Index.

The route is about 15 feet to the right of Behind the Tombstone.  It is a right facing corner, with a bulge at the top.  Climb up and over a detached flake at the base of the route.  Step over and onto the wall.  Make several face moves until you clip the first of 8 bolts.  Go back and forth between using face moves and the right facing corner.  If the move seems hard, look around you might be missing a hidden hold (most are on the left side).  Climb up a slab section and move left over onto the bulge.  This is an exposed move, but exciting face climbing with 2 bolts to protect the last moves.

The route is left of the Wart and 15 feet to the right of Behind the Tombstone.

8 quick draws and 2 slings for anchor. There is a chain anchor at top.
