This picture shows the route on the return trail to Willow Lake Campground.
Once at the fourth pitch anchors, evaluate the weather. You have four to five more pitches of 5th class climbing to easier ground. The route traverses diagonally right and then straight up to into a crack, dihedral system that angles right up the rest of the wall.
This picture looks up the last 300 to 400 feet of the right-leaning dihedral/crack system. Stay on the left of the system to avoid potentially loose rock. Use the system when needed for protection, but sling the pro with longer runners. The climbing here ranges from 5.6 max rolling over to easier grades.
A left-facing chimney followed by some slab climbing leads to the right edge of a grassy ledge with a two bolt anchor. 3b.
Climb up and slightly left into a wide gully system. Find the fourth pitch anchor of no return on the left side of the system.
This shows the 3rd Class slab up to the 2nd pitch anchors. 2d.
The third pitch starts by crossing the 3rd class ledge to some blocks leaning against the main face. 3a.
After climbing this easy boulder problem on the 2nd pitch, you'll have around 60 feet of 3rd Class to the second pitch anchor. 2c.
The second pitch is somewhat rambling. I hope the pics help guide the way. 2b.
This shows the start of the second pitch. 2a.
