[Hide Comment] The brief route description above is reminiscent of the guidebook. There is a cave where the southwest face above holds classic 5.8, and 5.10 and the 5.11 Newton County Mentality is around the corner (right). Where the cave ends and the wall again meets the ground and slightly to the right on the east face is "Brand New" which is 5.8 for about 15 feet then 5.6 to the top. It is a fun and easy beginner lead or warm up route. Sep 12, 2010
