Description

Pull pockets up the the slightly overhanging face on the backside of the main formation at Bear Canyon. Great climb for the grade! Probably the best climb of the area. 11d/12a variation: "Tree Hugger", direct finish after fourth bolt to right anchors, pull hard on small crimps and pockets. Don't fall into the tree.

Location

Just to the right of the large prow on the smooth face litered with small pockets. Usually in the shade.

Protection

Sport climbing with a funky clip into a two bolt anchor with fixed steel carabiners. Use your own gear for a top-rope anchor, then lower off the steel carabiners when cleaning the route. 5 bolts.
