Description

Decomposing granite fully bolted top rope and sport dry next day after rain

The people that I know putting in work for you to climb were:
Dave Taylor
Garret Barnes
Jacob Hawkins
Adam Winland
I’m sure there are more to add to this list from the old timers but this is who I know of.

Getting There

Park on either the East or West side of the creek. (Parking is more developed at the Horsetown trailhead on the West side.) From the edge of the bridge on the East side head north on the light traffic trail. At some point it will cut away from the creek, don't fret, you're still on the right trail! When it starts heading back there will be an area of ground with rock, then a fallen tree. Hop on the fallen tree and cross it. From there about 100 feet down the trail you'll see multiple terraces. Make your way down to the first or second one to rappel off the Fixe bolts and chains. The higher terrace rappel is better with a 70m rope, but both can easily be done with a 60.

If you are struggling, the Mountain Project map with the rough estimate of where the approach trail is comes in handy finding your way.
