Description

This route is visible from the parking lot and easily reached. It receives good sun most of the day and is worth checking out. The route wanders left after the first bolt to the second which is nearly out of view. Once that is clipped, return back to the right and continue up flakes and edges. There is a bit of loose rock on this route and caution should be used. A descent is best done by rapping down "Soft Cell" on the East Face of Hunk Rock.

Protection

Four bolts protect the face and a couple of midsized cams are handy for making a belay anchor up top. A full length draw is good for bolt #2 to reduce rope drag.
