Description 

This route has more mistakes, bailing and lost climbers than any other route at the NJ Gap. Pay attention and follow the route line. Don't be deceived by its rating. Many variations have been done around the solid line.

Pitch 1: Climb weaknesses up the center of the face. After a minor chimney, step right to a belay.
Pitch 2: Climb up almost to the large chimney (Cryptic Chimney) where an optional belay provides an opportunity for photos. THen traverse straight out left with a small ceiling below. At the end of the upper ceiling, climb up to a cedar tree, where there are usually slings for a double-rope rappel.


Location 

Very easy to see, mid-wall and look for the small chimney.


Protection 

Pro is VERY good on this route, nice small chimney about 60' up, protect with a #8-#10 nut before climbing.

Very fun route. I remember using a whole bunch of nuts in the chimney. The vegetation detracts from the aesthetics of the route, but I think it lessens in the fall if you want good pictures. Also, the 2nd pitch is pretty easy but airy.

Easy and lots of fun. Optional 2nd belay makes for some good photos and keeps things close enough that you can still hear your second over the sound of the highway below. I only placed tricams (pink-purple) and cams up to BD #3, but you could protect it reasonably well with up to a #2. Ends at bolts and rings next to a tree about 20 feet from the very top. You NEED 2 ropes to get back down.

FUN route and even better when climbed on the direct veriation pulling a juggy roof with heal hook! (Standard var.)Suggest making the first belay in the corner just before the airy left traverse, which makes for a longer first pitch (extend all slings to prevent any rope drag).

Very good route to get familiar with the wall and take a look at the area from the top. We climbed it as a two pitch climb. The 2nd pitch is all about the roof, than you can rappel form the bolts that are by the tree and are easy to locate. On the 1st pitch we used mainly nuts, on the 2nd pitch mainly cams. Two ropes to rappel.

My partner led this one, it was his second trad lead ever, and he flew up no problem. I don't know how this route is a 5.4, or how it has good ratings. It was way to easy for most of the climb, and boring. We had a 70m, so just ran it all the way to the top in one shot (brought a second rope up to use for the rappel, you CANNOT get down with one 70m rope).
