Closed to climbing, March 15 - June 30 MORE INFO >>> This area is closed March 15 - June 30 for nesting pregerine falcons. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

nearer to the left side of wall is a roof system 20' off the base. The left facing corner is the route.
pitch 1, great moves off the ground (10+) lead past a fixed pin into the corner and crack above. after a roof system, step left to two bolt belay. Climb straight up face OR, step back to finish the hanging corner (10+). Exiting the corner, climb up and past two bolts (5.10) and then trend straight up to sling belay at bolts (some 5.9). Continue up past another bolt to belay. Two 4th class pitches on chickenheads lead to the summit.

Location 

Near the left (west) 1/3 of the base- although I prefer the right side gully descent and longer walk vs the slabby left side downclimb.

Protection 

small rack including stoppers and camming units to 3". Some bolts and chickenheads for pro and anchors.
