Trails close at sunset. Give yourself enough time to be back at your vehicle (or campsite if you're staying at one) before dark, or the rangers will fine you.

Description
This climb is located directly above Krokus.
The start is from the block with Krokus' top anchors, and a belayer should probably be clipped into these anchors to avoid falling to the bottom of the south side (50+ feet) in the event that the first bolt on the route blows.
This slab climb has an interesting beginning move to get from a large flake onto a slab that has literally no holds on it. Getting from the first to the second bolt is terrifying, and run out. A fall in this area will send you tumbling over the roof, which would not be fun.
The crux seemed to be from above the first bolt to 4 feet shy of the top anchor.
If you don't trust your feet, don't do this climb!
