Description
This formation boasts a couple of easy fifth class lines on its north face, an ugly crack, and a very "crunchy" bolted face up its west shoulder. Its a great spot to take beginners, with a fifteen second approach from the car, a "real" summit (no walk off), and routes that can be done by just about anyone in any type of footwear. If there's nothing fixed on top, you can descend by downclimbing one of the 5.2s, or have someone on the ground tie-off one end of the rope on one side and rap off the other.
