Description

This route is perfect for a really beginner leader just looking to practice the craft or an easy non committing solo up the slabs... It is a bit dirty in a few part but all in all i was pleasantly surprised... If you're a new leader, be warned that there are some major runouts - see the photos! If you start to get uncomfortable or you run into major sections of wet slab, you can usually bail off to climber's right.

Pitch 1: (5.2) Climb straight up to the big pine tree... Right of the Anchor for Beginners route

Pitch 2: (5.2) Move right and climb a slightly crumbly gully to another tree anchor...

Pitch 3: (low 5th class) scramble up this dirty pitch through trees to another tree anchor...

Pitch 4: (5.3) Up and right to an AWESOME crack that leads up to the steep headwall... As the crack ends move to the right and belay from a tree on the edge of the woods...

Pitch 5: (5.3) Find your favorite way to get through the steep section and start up the slab maze above...

Pitches 6-8: Weave your way through the slabs being careful not to get yourself in to a bind as the gear is scarce... For the most part staying right looked easiest... there are trees to belay from here and there...
