Description A good climb. Start below and to the left of the obvious 'eye' in the rock. Make some hard moves up and along a rail until you have the eye by the socket.
Don't hang around too long before heading up onto easier ground.
Location Located just left of center on the steep West face.
Protection Slings and bolts provide good anchors

| Bolts exist on top, but no slings. These bolts are quite hammered--literally. They've been hammered flat and then pried up again. It is possible to back up the bolts using the remains of the iron guardrail. |

| I've never climbed 11b/c but I would venture to guess this climb is easier than that. Maybe mid to high tens? I'm six three, maybe that makes things easier on this climb. All that said, this is a great climb. Figuring out how to work the rail up to the eye was the crux. I reclimbed it twice cause it's that fun. |

| An area classic. It's a great, albeit short, climb that is pretty sustained up to the "eye". I'm 5'6" and I think it's a bit of a bouldery problem for shorter people. |

| I agree with Justin that the rating on "The Eye" is more realistically 5.10+ (ie 5.10d). Great moves on steep, positive orange and red features. Deciphering the sequence on the red rail before The Eye seems to be the ticket to success. |
