Description
The POD was intended as a warm up for the harder routes at the Mill Creek Crag. It is a sub-vertical slab that begins on thin edges and ends on huge holds. The rock quality is good throughout. One can catch a little caving experience on The POD as well. When lowering off the anchor, just squeeze through the slot on the right at the base. It takes you into a large cave feature that can be ascended on top rope as a chimney. If you get down but cannot get out, the cave can be accessed from the base of the crag for an easy escape.
Protection
Six quickdraws, a #2 1/2 or #3 1/2 Friend or equivalent, and something for the double bolt anchor at the top. The Friend placement is not really optional. If, for some reason, you did not place the Friend and you failed to clip the bolt above and fell, you would definitely hit the ground.
