Lower Bear Canyon Limestone new route

Lower Bear Canyon is so close and so easy to get to that it makes for a great afternoon outing. I got off of work a little early so I ran home and grabbed the drill. I hiked up to the craig Lucas and I put two routes up last summer and added a third. The new one, Lime Juice, is a lot shorter than its neighbors at 5 bolts to chains but probably the same grade, 5.9-5.10. Out of State Plates (now the middle route) is 11 bolts to chains and That One Deserves a Cigarette (left most route) is 8 bolts to chains.
Lime Juice ends where the rope hits the tan roof and disappears. The rock above the anchor becomes really questionable.
