Mid January, on a Friday afternoon I made a solo visit to Owl Rock in South Reno to have a closer look at a TR bolted slab line I had seen on my hike back to the car previously but did not have the time to climb. This line is along the West facing side of the formation on the obvious gradual 5.6 slab, the bolts are standard Petzl 1/2'' diameter bolts as seen in the first photo below. I used a self belay set up with the Gri Gri 2 and lowered down cleaning off holds, next I climbed the line once at the bottom. Approx. 50FT tall this line offers a beautiful view of Reno. I recommend bringing slings to extend the anchors for edge protection purposes.
