Proposed Route:

Tracks Are for Kids is the left of the three bolted lines on the overhanging, west-facing hueco'ed fin of rock on the west-southwest side of the Dinosaur Rock formation. Climb five bolts past consistently overhanging huecos to a new set of anchors at the lip, installed March 2012 to replace the existing, rusty-chain anchors. Very fun climbing!
