This route is the obvious serrated crack on the right side of the face. Excellent jugs and jams lead to the steep crux (5.8). Short but fun climbing overall.
Protection
Easy access to the cold shuts above the lip for a toprope. Also makes an excellent lead. Standard rack. ~45 feet
Great place to climb after work. We are just starting out, and the combination crack and face climbs from the toprope anchors are great. The whole slab is like a big playground...

An excellent pitch of 5.6-5.7 crack climbing with a brief 5.8 crux at the top.
A solid clean crack climb.
Mostly 5.6 to 5.7, with a brief 5.8 crux at the top.
It appears to me that this route is the same as the 5.6 C1 route described above. I would go with a 5.6 rating if you turn the roof on the left side. 2 stars only because it is so short. If it were longer it would be a very popular route.

[Ed.- duplicate route was submitted as "5.6 Crack" by Steve Matthys on Sep 24, 2002 with the following description]:
This route is the first route you will pass if you take the walk down to the base of the cliff. It is an obvious hand/finger crack that you can top rope or lead on trad. Great trad lead for beginners.
Small to midsize cams & Stoppers. For TR, some webbing and locking biners.

This climb could be climbed all passive.

Short, but very fun trad lead. Great Aid practice too! Planning on sharpening my aid skills on this route and the nearby cracks in preparation for the Finger of Fate on the Titan in a few weeks... :) :)
