The roof on the second pitch is the crux. The hold are there, just get your head in the game. This is a fun climb just for the overall exposure and the great views of the canyon. You can see everything from the top of this climb.
Location
The first pitch starts left of the column and follow meandering bolts up a rib for about 185' to the overhang. The second pitch pulls the overhang and follows big jugs up the flake for about 80'. Rappel the route to get off. Requires two 60M ropes.
Protection
First pitch takes 20 quick draws to the chain belay. Second pitch takes about 10 quick draws to the chains.
To find the route: When you are standing in the entrance to the parking lot with the toilet, turn and face down the road. The route is across the river on the face to the left of the buttress to your right. Walk down the road about thirty feet to where you can access the river easily. Walk through the grass looking for a faint trail that follows the river to your left. Follow this trail. It becomes more defined as you go. Cross the river and follow the trail to the base of the wall. The belay area is a really nice large cleared flat spot with an obvious line of bolts above.
