Description

This route is found on the Baby Steps Face. This is directly behind Finley Crack and is actually the other half of that rock. This is the right of two bolted routes. A great route for beginning leaders.

Protection

4 bolts to a double ring anchor

Kellen, age 6, leads Baby Steps

$Lisa Ellis - Belayer. John Kent Leader. Lisa also lead this route. Rock face appears recent (_ 1 Yr? since fracture by rock above). Bolts appear to be 1/4 button head (bad) - 1st bolt bent under hanger. After 1st lead I walked up route (no hands). Rating is therefore high (maybe 5.0). Weathering will increase rating significantly over time quickly.$
