Description
A fun and easier multi pitch route that does top out. 3 pitches, with the option to do one or all, though rapping from any of the belay stations will take two ropes.
Descent Options:
- Rappel Poly-Stick-Em with a single 60m rope. These bolts are ~25' to your left when you top out.
- Rappel Cruel Shoes with two ropes.
- Downclimb to the southwest.
- Scramble to the south, then back right. 130' rap to the ground which can be completed with a 70m and some downclimbing.
