Description
Enjoyable face climbing following discontinuous cracks. The rock is solid, the protection is straightforward, and there are lots of positive face holds which make the route worth doing. A good route for a beginning leader.
Location
This route is directly to the right of
Lite Beer From Miller and it is even possible to cross-over from one route to the other mid-way. Start from a small grassy ledge towards the right side of the alcove. Traverse/scramble left into the crack system which goes pretty much straight up for the rest of the climb. Descent is from the anchors of Irish Creme, a 120' rappel (note that it is possible to descend with only a single 60m rope if you are not opposed to some easy down-climbing.)
Protection
Standard rack.
