Description

The lower Tier currently has 4 routes roughly twice as long as the upper tier. There are two sets of anchors easily accessed on each end of the comfy ledge at the base of the upper tier. Fork in the road, Crossroads, and Overpass share the anchors on climber’s left while Cheryl’s drive by uses the anchors on Climber’s Right.

The routes are really 15-20 foot boulder problems with easy slab above but still worth checking out.
