Sticking the move to the jug


Description 

The western side of the ridge proper. Great afternoon and evening sun. The rock is generally a bit better on this side. Good landings for the most part, but some problems are quite tall. Be careful!

I have left the numbers on the original problems posted by JJ Schlick, from his topo.


Getting There 

Follow the trail around to the right past the fork. Problems will be obvious on the right.
