Pitch 1.

Start under the tree.

Below the crux of last pitch.

Phil Pickett finishing up the route with US 285 far below.

Bruce Hildenbrand stemmed out at the crux of the last pitch.

Lover's Leap on the right. Green arrows show a rap route.

These guys are on the pitch right below the crux. They guy belaying is not quite at the cave (bolts at the cave).

Final pitch cracks.

We did this as one pitch with a 70m. It is historical pitch 2....

At the crux. One move.

Good view of the crux move. 20 feet of finger crack climbing. Or stem out and face climb. Protect with a #2 cam.

Chris Cavallaro starting the first pitch.

A nice view from the top of Lover's.

The top of pitch 2 at the cave.

John Patrarka on Lover's Leap.

Chains at the top of pitch two (or pitch one if you run it out a little).

A great climb and views for such a local crag!

"Coffin rock" at the top of pitch 1. You can run it out and easily link pitch 1 and 2 to make it to the chains not far above this.

Sean Wood just past the crux of the route.

On the last pitch.

The bridge right by the parking lot, 6/2020.

Starting rap 2 with the goal posts above.

At the crux.

The final rap to the ground.

Coffin Rock.

Milo rapping down from the top of the climb - pitch 4 bolts.

At the top of Lover's Leap (US Hwy 285 below).

Leading the second pitch. Easy to combine 2 and 3 into one long, stellar pitch.

Hanging out on Lover's Leap.

Today, this was P1, location can vary based on rope length.

Erin leading pitch 2 (if you climb P1 to the bolted anchors).
