Description Another classic beginner route with fun moves and a cool line. The name is a plays on the classic Whitney-Gilman Ridge on Cannon Cliff. Though not as exposed, it does bare a slight resemblance to that route.
Follow the ridge from the mouth of the gully up and to the left to quick clip anchors. A new route has been added directly up to share the same anchor, if you top rope here please use draws so as not to wear out the quick clips.
Location The wall on the right as you walk up in to the gully, you will see the bolts following the ridge up and right.
Protection 8 bolts to quick clips.
Allie having fun!

| Super fun easy climbing with great handholds all the way up. Probably the best route I have ever done under 5.7. Perfect for novice leaders, because at every bolt, there is a jug on the arete to clip from. Also, the fact that it shares an anchor with a 5.7 gives beginners a chance to get on something relatively hard without having to lead it. Definently worth doing. |
