| First pitch is 5.5, 2nd Pitch is 5.3. The 3rd pitch that is described is actually called Block Route, 5.5, and it is an excellent pitch. This can be led as a sport route with significant run-outs on pitch 2 over easy terrain. |

| Fun, easy enjoyment and a great introduction to Climbing at Table Rock!! Both Pitches take mixed protection, so bring a light rack and a couple quick draws for this one. The belayer wont be able to see the leader on the second pitch so make sure you have a loud voice or have decent means of communication!
Climbed the first two pitches to lunch ledge free in 2 minutes and 36 seconds once! Its a fun one for easy speed ascents! |
