Fantastic route for beginning, sport multi-pitch. Beautiful light that bounces through the valley when the suns setting.

The Young and the Rackless.
A golden eagle lands at the nest on the 4th pitch of Young and Rackless while investigating this and other potential nest sites prior to egg laying (see comment below).
Please be aware that this route is closed on Feb. 1 annually for an eagle nest.
Pitch 3, showing left and right variations.
Rapping to the right of the route (climber's right) will get you down in two raps with one 60m rope.
Pitches 1 and 2....
This is a photo of the 2nd rap station that works for a 60m rope. Trend right as you rap down from the anchors at the top of P4, and you'll find this station. From here, a 60 meter rope with knots tied at the end will just tickle the ground.
