Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

The leftmost climb on the Alley Oop Boulder. Start up a 4th class gully to a ramp. Here comes the fun part. Pull the roof on small finger jams/holds. A couple of moves and you're on top.

Location 

Left side of the Alley Oop Boulder, 15' left of the bolted line.

Protection 

TR. My climbing guide says that this climb was once lead bolted. Looks like am did some re-engineering of this rock.
