Michael does the big stem on Easy Hard.
Description
More proof that there's nothing boring about easy/moderate climbs at Moore's, Easy Hard makes a nice warm-up at the start of the day or a good wind-down after a hard day of climbing. NOTE: despite the 5.5 rating, this is probably not a good choice for a first trad lead.
Follow a crack system up to face climbing and a small overlap; move right and up the face (crux), then continue past a tree ledge to a big tree in a cave-like nook.
Location
Starts about 20' left of Head Jam. Rap from the slung tree at the top.
Protection
Cams and passive pro in the small to medium range; build a gear anchor and/or sling the big tree.
Fun route, definitely not suggested for a 1st lead, routefinding to the ledge above headjam isn't exactly intuitive and the slopery business at the top is kind of freaky.
