Description

This route is on the left side of the crag in an obvious dihedral. The climbing is very good, and I would give it three stars except it is lacking length and location. It starts on the slab and works its way up the dihedral to a weird chimney thing. This is the short but awkward crux. You can traverse diagonally left across a bulge after this to the bolts, but it is much better to continue up the dihedral to the fist crack under the roof and traverse left.

This is a great route with excellent rock and fun climbing.

Protection

It can be climbed on toprope, but a solid directional is needed if you use the bolts near the top. Some jackass put these bolts in, so be sure to loop a runner through one or else you will edge load the carabiner. There is plenty of places to set up a gear toprope. This is best done as a trad lead. The bottom section eats up nuts, and there are a couple large cam placements (3.5 or 4) near the top. Standard rack. ~60 feet?
