Description 

The crux comes on the second pitch when climbing over several bulges. The bulges are short but sweet with easier climbing in between. A good route to break into the 5.8 realm. The route meets up with several other routes at bushy ledge. Expect crowds on most sunny days.

Location 

The climb starts just to the left of bears reach and follows a double crack system. Walk down the decent trail on the back side of the route.

Protection 

Cams, .5" - 3" Nuts, 1 set.
