Fun climbing, Easy O works as a good novice lead or a warm-up for harder stuff.
P1 - Starting from the top of a pile of boulders, head up and left past a right-facing flake to a chimney. Climb the chimney; near its top, move left onto the face and up to a ledge (be careful of the plentiful loose rock). 5.1, 80'. P2 - Move right on the ledge, then diagonal up and right to a left-facing corner and up to an overhang. Pass this overhang on the right and continue up to another overhang, then escape right to a small ledge (optional belay). Continue up the face to the top. 5.2, 80'.
Location
Starts immediately right of Baby. Rap from Son of Easy O bolted anchors (make sure this route is clear before dropping ropes).
Protection
Standard rack, no specialty gear needed. Shares anchors with Son of Easy O.
Fun easy route. Spring '77 took a girl up this and she literally froze at the second belay. (Small ledge, very exposed.) For about 30 seconds she just stared into space. Soloed a few times--once stoned, wearing work boots. I miss college....
