Description

The narrow slot/chimney near the stairs as you descend the trail from the parking lot. The routes here are short and offer no bolts but there are plenty of trees nearby to set up an anchor.

Getting There

Follow the trail from the parking lot past the overlook until you get to the stairs. The slot on your left is what you are after. Can't miss it.

[Hide Comment] As Alfonso mentions, there are now top bolts for anchors, however, there are 5 routes (added 5th today). When looking down into the slot from the top of the stairs just past the overlook you have two routes on the right (with offset anchors - one high; one low) and three on the left.

From the same vantage:
Arete is immediate to the right
Dave's Boulder Problem, also on the right, about 8-10 feet past Arete
Offwidth Lieback, immediately to the left
Arrow Flake just behind it (you can use either the high anchor in the middle of the trees or the far anchor to climber's right)
Ledge-End, last set of anchors on the left Aug 19, 2014
