Description I think the crux is on the second pitch.
Real nice, smooth climb. Follow crack that runs parallel to corner.
First pitch tops out at tree a little to the left. One bolt belay and webbing are used for hanging belay. May need to replace runner/webbing when up there.
Location start of climb is in corner and noticable by the belay area next to small tree.
Rap station is approx 20 ft south of where you top out. Two rope rap. Two bolt rap with noticable webbing.
Protection nuts are great for this climb.
small to large cams.
great beginner trad climb.
Ann about to start P2 of Big Ben. Beautiful day.

| Does anyone know the current condition of this route? And why the PG13 rating? Thanks. |

| PG13 is probably due to the wide section on the second pitch. might be a little intimidating if this is at your limit. if I remember correctly, the rock is a bit crunchy in places as well.
fine line to the top of a cool formation though! |

| chossy, but fun. wear your helmet- tons of rockage. never found the bolt at the top of the second pitch and lead had to rap off a natural anchor. |

| The rap bolt is to the left (facing the cliff) about 15 feet. Chossy indeed. |
