Hardrock Miner 5.8, 5 pitch adventure sport, Eureka CO
Tuesday August 7, 2012 11:07pm
Had some fun on this one a few days ago.

Approach 20-30 minutes.
5 hours car to car.
Raps are set up for a single 60m. We took a 60 and a 50 that slowed us way down. Dual 60's would be hard to pull.

Very loose but bolts where you need them.
