Description

A great route that is a little pumpy but doesn't throw any hard moves at you. The 12a rating comes from sustained 11 climbing.

Location

At the end of the trail, climb the middle line of bolts from the ledge on the north side. It is the right-most line with fixed draws.

Protection

Fixed draws with lower-off anchor. No runouts.

[Hide Comment] A king line, progressive difficulty on great holds with a nail-biter finish if you're pumped.
