BETA PHOTO: Walk in the Park goes right up the middle of this ...

Description 

Start up the big crack that runs left of the first bolt that you can see from the ground. This comes to the first of many ledges. Climb up through the second bolt, and 5.6 crux to another ledge. From there, you have a crack on the right of the bolt line, and lots of good feet. Pass a couple more ledges and clip the anchor from a ledge just below and left of it. The route can be walked off to the right, and it deposits you at Surprising Crag.

It would be a two rope rap, and lowering is not really an option. You can easily belay from the anchor then walk off.

Location 

This looked like the only route on the Sport Park Slab. Head downstream from the parking area after crossing the creek, watch out for bogs and mud. There is a trail through the trees that deposits you at the bottom of this route.

Protection 

8 bolts with a 2 bolt anchor at the top. Lots of places for trad gear as a backup. Several cracks and ledges lend to easy clips and gear placement.
