First route you come to after crossing the stream is Dark at Seven. This is a well protected 5.9 on nice limestone and rounds out the crag nicely. For my personal taste, I think having a range of difficulty at a crag opens it up to more climbers and gives more people in a party a chance to climb at the same crag. So, I'll give DAS two stars for what it does for the climbing here. And it was done well.
Protection
Half a dozen draws and a rope.
Location
On the more southward-facing bit of BBDW, around the corner to the right of all of the other routes. Using the normal approach crossing the stream, this route is directly ahead while scrambling up the hill.
Could really use a nice landing. Someone, work on this for an Eagle project or something. This climb starts out interesting, then an unfortunate huge rest that kills the coolness factor. But it gets tough again pretty quick. If you have hauled some gumby up with you the face just right of this is a easy/fun TR.
