Description
Enjoyable moves on smooth grey rock characterize this route with the crux coming near the top where one encounters a random, and all natural, perfect two-finger pocket. These rare pockets form on occasion and it's the odd route which features one (see Elephant Walk for another example). Bolted rappel anchor.
Well-protected climbing up a steep slab/face within staggering distance of your vehicle make this an obvious choice.
Drawn in lime green in the cliff photos.
Location
On the formation just left of Coarse and Buggy, climb up a smooth face with bolts to the right of a left-arching crack system.
