Description

This route starts off really chossy, climbing to a small roof. Turning the roof is the first crux. Above it is some steep and cryptic face climbing. Before the last bolt is the second crux - a hidden hold, which if passed could make things a lot tougher. After the last bolt anchors are seen off to the left, but Scott Jones informed us that you can continue straight-up to another set of anchors and make a more direct climb.

Location

This route is located about 30ft north of The Paw.

Protection

4 bolts to anchors. Can be used to set a top-rope on The Paw.

[Hide Comment] The roof is surprisingly fun and not too difficult, but the rock below and above is garbage. Only anchors I found were way left and consisted of a single chain in between, forcing you to rap off a single chain link. Dec 20, 2021
