Printer Friendly View Description This climb has a terrific variety of novel climbing on fantastic rock. Steep face moves, barndoor liebacking, and a runout mantle will help you remember the first pitch. Rappel from here, or continue up past three bolts to easier ground.
Protection bolts and small gear

By Adam Stackhouse Administrator From: Escondido, Ca Mar 11, 2006 rating: 5.11a/b Certainly a standard for the grade of 5.11- face climbing. This is no give-away as it is cerebral and somewhat sustained. Originally rated 10d
By Chris Owen Administrator From: La Crescenta, CA Mar 12, 2006 I seem to remember the rock being quite smooth in the upper reaches of P1. An excellent technical exercise.
By Brandon R. From: San Diego, CA Sep 17, 2006 The second pitch looks good, but the bolts are pretty old. It'd be great if some kind soul with bolting skills replaced them.
By Bruce Diffenbaugh From: The Idyllwild City Dump. Feb 12, 2008 rating: 5.10d I'll go with the Original rating 10d but can feel harder at times.As for the pro.The bolts have needed replacement for sometime.Maybe this summer.
