[Hide Comment] Far end of the Alcove wall, second route from the climber's Right. High first bolt, but easy climbing to it. Has a very distinct technical crux ~1/2 way up where being creative with your body position will get you through. Use a sharp crimp and chalked side wall to move up. The rest of the route consists of large moves between jugs. Plenty of rests are available so it's easy to recover at any time. I don't feel you need trad gear for this route. Not sustained enough to be a classic but this is still a great route! Nov 4, 2014

[Hide Comment] Pretty sure this has 7 bolts after re-engineering a few years ago. No longer too scary! Apr 13, 2017
