Description This route is the obvious crack in the middle of the face with a tree growing at the top. Climb the dihedral using pockets and stemming for 15' to a large ledge. Lieback up the crack system until the face becomes peppered with pockets and edges. This is a very fun climb, but only gets two stars because there are no three star routes at Falling Rock. This is a sentimental favorite of mine because it was my first climb ever.
Protection This would be a scary lead because of the flaring cracks and slick limestone. Easy to toprope from the tree.

| Not a scary lead. Good fun climbing with lots of places for gear. Bring some bigger stuff. |

| This is a great climb for everyone. I could see how it would be scary on lead but if you look for places for gear its not too scary. |

| Its an OK climb. Some of the ledges and holds are a bit sandy. |

| fun lead, but one should feel good at the grade as the gear isn't too awe inspiring |
