Description
This is an excellent, well-protected beginner lead and is just plain fun to do whenever you're there. Climb up the slab to the first bolt (probably the crux), and then follow easier ground past 3 more bolts to a water groove where the slab rears back to vertical. Move up the water groove on huge incuts (and a birdbath) to a two-bolt anchor.
