Description 

This is the first climb that one comes to upon reaching the cliff.
It follows a crack that doesn't reach the ground. Either undercling in from the left or do tricky slab moves up to the crack. Follow this crack (5.7) to a ledge with two bolts.
A second pitch can be done. Move left from the ledge and up a 5.9 crack. This pitch is seldom done and not that good.


Protection 

Pro to 2". Bigger for second pitch.

I was up here in April '07 and I didn't notice any bolts. You can easily set up a TR anchor with a #1 and #4 Camalot. There is also a wedged rock you can sling. Try the thinner crack that slants diagonally left (10a fingers) while on toprope.

Yes, when I was there Nov. 6, 2007 the two bolts had been removed.
