Jon Cannon into the maw of Idi Amin. Photo by Tim...


Description 

A fairly easy introduction to Palisades climbing. Climb right-leaning dihedral to first of series of large platforms. Blocky and easy, the crux is right off the ground.


Location 

Take the obvious right-leaning dihedral up to the top.


Protection 

Can be protected with large hexes and cams.

The crux is definitely right off the ground for the first ten feet of climbing. The rest of the route is trivial, probably fourth class. A great practice lead. Otherwise, this is the standard climb that most locals solo up to set up topropes for the other routes on King Rock.
