Description 

This route is #32 in the LAM on-line guide.

Start inside a deep triangular alcove that narrows to a chimney. Move out to the face on the right when the chimney narrows, and climb fairly easy blocky ground to the rim. Not terribly exciting, but probably a good choice to TR for totally green beginners.


Location 

This line is the farthest right (east) on the south wall of the crag.


Protection 

Pro is a little awkward throughout, but it is a tolerable beginner trad lead. Easy enough to TR with a gear anchor and/or slung nearby junipers on top.
