Description 

Lieback up the obvious right-facing flake just right of BonVoyage to a small roof. Traverse right under the roof. Mantle up on a small shelf and move straight to the top on a slightly overhanging rock. The name ThreeHorns is a bit misleading for this route. The first horn is a little shorter than it used to be. A local climber, TomEvans, was doing this route when much to his surprise he pulled off most of the first horn! The belayer was rudely awakened by the rock fall. The second horn is still intact. However, the third horn, once looped for protection for the lead was removed in much the same manner as the first. This should give you some insight into the nature of leading at capen park
