Description

Lots of local climbers do laps on this and neighboring routes as a warm up. Down climbing is a good way to practice feet on overhung routes. The crux is working around the two overhangs that are in the first 10 feet of the climb. Follow the crack after the crux to the top.

Location

In the Mossy Gully dihedral on the right-hand wall. Start is on a wooden plank. Starts in a inset on the wall, then follows a long crack to the top.

Protection/Hang

Two chains. 7 feet of webbing/rope should get the anchors set about right. There are also several trees that 10 feet of webbing/rope should reach well.

Anchors on MLF or Brachiator (to the right and left, respectively) can also serve this route.
