Description 

This is a short bolted line that ascends the left edge of the east face of this crag. It certainly catches the eye if you approach from below. The rock is a bit scruffy in spots.

Start in from the left. Take care with your feet, since the rock is friable, coarse granite. Once you get out on the face, you can follow the bolt line on smaller, more lichenous holds or head slightly right on bigger, more positive holds. Either way, the variations merge around the last bolt.

Rappel 30 feet.

Thanks for the info, Rich!
