Description Near the middle of the south face is a prominent, left-angling crack system that starts from a ledge/pod about 20ft off the ground. This is a great route for a leader just breaking into 7 and 8s though the start of pitch 1 might be a little scary. It is also just a great route.
Pitch 1: Climb up to the beginning of the crack through fairly run-out 5.6. Follow the crack up to a large ledge area. (5.7)
Pitch 2: Continue up to the top following the left-leaning crack system. (5.7+) Alternatively you can climb the crack to the right of the ledge for a great 5.9 finish - this is the 2nd pitch of Roll Dem Bones.
You can rap off - 100ft + 150ft - or work your way over the top and come around either side of the rock.
Protection To 3".

| There are 3 bolted anchors on this route, although we climbed it in one pitch with a 60 m rope. There has also been a bolt added near the bottom, although it's not clear whether or not it was intended for this route, it's in an awkward place for the route. |

| This is a fun route despite the huge ledge in the middle of the first pitch. I would highly recommend doing the start to roll dem bones, although a 9+ it's really only one or two weird offwidthy moves and protects very easily with a #4 Camalot. Second pitch is really nice. Choose between two nice cracks or use them both. Medium sized cams. The second pitch to roll them bones looks even nicer. |

| There are some great routes on this crag (Kayla's Way, etc). This isn't one of them. A thrutchy, mossy, water sluice. |

| In 2002 added anchor bolts to top of first and second pitch which climbs steeper crack right of first pitch. |

| There is no bolt near the bottom (one is not needed) but the belays have bolts for an easy rap descent. A fun route to warm up on. |
