Description
While low graded, it's quite possible for 5.5 climbers to have route finding difficulty and get into trouble on this route.
Start about 100 feet to the left of The Swift at an obvious ramp.
Pitch 1: Go up the easy and fairly obvious ramp on the left side of the large recess. Belay at a big ledge. DO NOT CONTINUE UP THE RAMP!
Pitch 2: Step left and go up the plates on the right edge of the steep dark face. If you are a budding 5.5-5.6 leader this will look totaly wrong, but it goes! Belay on the large right trending ramp system. Short pitch.
Pitch 3: Continue up the easy ramp to the top. Be careful to avoid trundling loose crap on those below!
