Description
Good protection with fun moves make this a worthwhile addition to the area - especially on those cold and windy days that can get your goat.
- A small cam (0.5 inch) can be placed before the first bolt and additional pro (2-2.5 inches) is possible after the last bolt if desired. The climb has been done on top-rope straight up from the first bolt at 5.10+ as well.
Location
Located in the small cove directly behind (east of) Billboard buttress and 40 feet left of the route White Trash.
