Description
From the bolted belay on Dappled Mare go directly up the crack above and follow it clear to the top.
Over the years I'd backed off of this one several times as it's a long way from the belay to the first placement, (Avoid using the first obvious hole. You'll need it for a hold!) and the rock had the ball bearing qualities that makes face climbing at Josh so exciting at times. It has seen enough traffic that it as cleaned up nicely. A bolder, (but not insane) alternative to Dappled Mare.
