Dan making the crux clip.


Description 

This is the farthest left route on the cliff. Hike up a dead end gully_chasm to reach the route. Very powerful climbing up the gently overhanging wall with surprisingly bad grips. The holds do get better after the third bolt and on the dog does not seem that hard(compared to the climbing below), but you do carry the pump to the anchors. A hold broke in the middle of the crux solidifying the grade but the route has since been redpointed. ...Oh and don't worry you won't hit the wall behind you if you fall. Great movement but a little crumbly so only two stars. A short route so boulderers should fare well.


Protection 

5-6 Bolts to a 2 Bolt anchor.
