Description 

NOTE: This route has been closed by the U.S. Forest Service and is included here for informational purposes only.

Ascend the attractive face right of Sultans of Stem. Boulder a thin start to the first "bolt." The climbing eases up considerably afterward.

Plug in a piece or two in a small horizontal between the bolts.

Follow the interesting rock to the anchors.

Reportedly there is a second pitch that goes all the way to the big ledge.

Location 

Right of Sultans of Stem.

Protection 

Two questionable bolts with angle aluminum hangers. Small piece(s) in a horizontal. Better bolted anchors.
