Description This route starts on the crack down by the trees (just left of sport route that follows an arete to begin). I'm not sure on the rating but the cracks on the upper face are really good.
Protection Has one bolt. and needs some small to med. gear.

| Good climb - best in this area. 5.7 if you bail left or right at the thin section near the top, or 5.8 if you go straight up through it. Much better to work onto the face with dicontinuous cracks than to climb the obvious easy handcrack. Small gear is really nice for the upper part of the face. |

| I agree with Andrew, stay on the face as you pass the tree and bring small gear. Again, this route can be led without the obviously, unneccesary bolt. |

| Fun, easy trad! Hard to judge the rating, all depends on if you go left when the crack dies or go up and right. More people should do the routes on this face... great for beginners. |

| The trees in front of this climb are now so large that it looks like some bushwhacking would be involved to get up the first 20 feet or so. |

| The trees aren't a problem, but finding decent pro at the crux is. Staying on the hardest line leads to a high step using an incut two-finger hold and then, with admittedly decent hands, smedging the feet up to find yourself once again on easy ground. What pro I did place at this juncture was indeed micro. |

| Great route to practice placing passive gear. |

| I climbed this for the second time today and really enjoyed it. I used small nuts through BD-C4-#3. I felt like this route was very well protected with the right gear. |

| pretty fun route it was my third trad lead climb ever. the lower 2/3'rds protected well wasn't too sure about the last little bit may have been nice to have TCU's or small stuff but still a great route |

| Surprisingly fun Trad line...the tree at the top is so big I'd sling it to protect the crux move...made me wish I brought one (a sling) once I was up there. |
