Description Suggest change

Start roughly 75 feet right (east) from the very left end of the formation (this end of the cliff has the old road/trail that goes between Echo Tee Parking Area and Barker Dam). At the base of the cliff is a gap in the vegetation where this climbs starts.

Climb up a short slab to a very thin horizontal crack. Place some tiny nuts in opposition, then pull the bulge above (crux, harder if short) to gain the top of a flake and the first bolt. Continue generally straight up the face on decent scoops, passing a large, loose flake that can be slung to reach the second bolt near the top of the face. Climb past the second bolt onto the top. Go up and slightly right to a crack in a corner and set up a belay. While the climbing is relatively easy, a fall before the second bolt would likely be catastrophic.

To descend, walk down the low angled shoulder until it steepens, and then downclimb the slab (it's worth checking this out before doing any climbs that require this as a downclimb). Skittish climbers will likely be unwilling to do this descent without a rope.

Protection Suggest change

Very tiny wires, two bolts and a shoulder length sling over a loose flake. Red, gold and blue Camalots for an anchor.
