Description
Lots of non-steep moves.
Directional protection placement needed for Top-Roping.
Up the wide crack, then a bit right up to right side of slab. Trend left to the top.
warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.
. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

Trad: Standard rack.
Top-Roping: For ideas on how to set up top anchor, see the sector description page.
warning: Top-rope needs a directional protection placement (perhaps with long slings around a rock?)
