| I enjoy warming up on this climb as it is not as "slippery" as some of the other climbs of the same rating. |

| A fun beginner's climb but be aware; like most of the easy to moderates at Big Rock it is sparsely bolted. |

| This is a favorite of mine, not sure why, it just seems like fun. |

| Great warm up route on the rock. a little runout in places, but par for the course at this crag. Liked it much better that some of the central routes, less people around you and WAY less slippery |

| There are 3 rap chains after you pass 3 (or perhaps 4) bolts. Could be done as a two pitch. Just ticked it today--my partner and I didn't see anyone else the entire day! |

| Bolts are new and good up to rap station. Above that all 1/4" button heads. Good route to warm up on, good fun but I suggest don't do 2nd pitch not worth the time. Go to rap station and rap down unless you want to work on multi-pitch skills. then after 2nd bolt go left to 2nd belay anchors if you go all the way straight up you'll have to belay from a big rock tie off or a crack behind the rock will take BD#2-4. Then walk off(facing lake to the right). |

| I'll second Jeff's comment that P2 is more trouble than it's worth :) |
