Peter Dillon at the steep headwall on Kevin Spies ...


Description 

Very good beginner climb. Goes slightly right, then left after the 2nd bolt. From there follow the bolts straight up. Large holds and big feet.

There is an alternate start to the right, ~5.9.


Protection 

5 bolts to a two bolt anchor with Metolius rap bolt hangers.

Very nice easy route, you can make it about 5.7 by sticking tightly to the line of bolts, worth doing both ways since there are so few routes at this grade.

A good choice for an experienced climber to take fresh meat to. :) To keep yourself entertained there are three fun starts to the right of the bolts, two cracks and an edge. There are also two fun cracks with small roofs to the left 2/3 up the wall, just be ready for a bit of a swing. It's enough to entertain yourself while you help out your new climbers.

My 1st Cliff lead. That first bolt is a bit high off the ground though you can climb right and then clip it before commiting. I would give the direct start a 5.7, not much for hand holds and the feet are small, with the cack tight for bigger feet. Great climb.

I believe this climb should be under the "Table Top" area (Table Top is the next route left of it, no?).

Directions: Once you hike to the top, head West along the face. You'll eventually come to a break in the cliff face (100 yards or so) where a scree field lets you scramble to the top. Kevin's is the last route just before this.

A nice beginner route for kids. The bottom portion is very easy boulder climbing and then it gets a little tougher towards the top. Some variation for more experienced climbers. Easy toprope to setup.

There's another decent kid's route one route to the right of this as well. No idea what it might be called.

The first couple of moves give the beginning leader something to commit to...after that, it's a fun cruise.
