Description

A large apron with six difficult, mostly bolt protected one pitch routes. The climbing is steep friction on beautiful, smooth granite. The pitches are long, the climbing is spicy but safe, and the hardware was updated in November 2025 thanks to the American Safe Climbers Association. Although it's eclipsed by the epic-ness of the big wall to the right, the Apron is truly a spectacular mini-crag in its own right.

The routes are long and double ropes are necessary for rappels on all the routes.

A light rack is needed as well, although most routes only require a couple pieces of gear.
