If you've led Bear Hunt and want to keep climbing, Gift Certificate is a great choice. Long and excitingly exposed, this route offers nice friction, decent protection and some moves that will make you stop and think.
Starting just right of a sharp-edged boulder leaning against the cliff, move up the rounded face to steeper ground. Follow the path of least resistance over a bulge and continue up the line of bolts and strategic gear placements to the top, enjoying a panoramic view of the valley below.
NOTE: The guidebook erroneously reports this as a 120' route; it's closer to 200', so double ropes (or trailing a second rope) are mandatory to rap the route. A single-rope rap will get you back to the ground from the Bear Hunt ledge.
Location
Starts on the ledge at the top of Bear Hunt where a boulder leans against the slabby cliff; a line of bolts is visible above.
Protection
Mixed; 5-6 bolts, but there's enough runout between them that a light rack (small to medium cams and nuts) is necessary. Double-rope rap from a tree with slings and rap rings.
