Description

From the little spur trail off the old road, this is the leftmost of 3 routes encounted immediately when reaching the rock. This route starts off low angle, hits a steeper slabby section, and ends on big jugs.

Rap from chains, one rope.

[Hide Comment] Tricky route with good smearing and very well protected. There are better 5.9's around though. Nov 16, 2006
