Description This route is found on the Baby Steps Face. This is directly behind Finley Crack and is actually the other half of that rock. This is the right of two bolted routes. A great route for beginning leaders.
Protection 4 bolts to a double ring anchor

| I am giving this route 2 stars with a caveat. It is a route for children. Kids will have a blast on this face. Mine did. Thank you Kayla and family for such a fun place to take my daughter. |

| This is a great area for kids learning to lead, indeed. However, despite this route's name, this is not a great area for babies. The difficult approach and lack of safe, flat ground around the base made it unsuitable for our 15-month-old to hang out with the whole family. Send the toddlers on a nearby hike with a parent while you check this face out.
The easiest approach is the gully to the right of Iceberg Boulder. Take a left at the top of the boulder and squeeze through a corridor between the rocks. |

| It may be a fine training ground for the wee ones, but this isn't technical rock climbing (5th class). I can't see how anyone with experience in the area would list this as a 5.5 at Jtree. I walked up it in tennis shoes without using my hands. |
