Description

The third route right of tree on the ledge (NoName5) has a quite interesting start that I thought ticked in close to 5.12a, a bit easier perhaps. It is a crimpy series of moves that runs through some pale colored stone to the dark grey rock above. The small edges have not yet picked up typical limestone polish - so they are still friendly. This route is a good intro to the much harder and much crimpier routes to the left.

Per dbyte: Start as for Traditional Values & head left @ the 1st ledge system ~20 feet up to the base of a short gray headwall. Getting up onto the headwall is the crux, followed by pulls on crisp edges to the top. The rock quality on the headwall is excellent.

This is a compilation of descriptions and information.

Protection

Several draws and a rope. Per dbyte: 5 bolts.
