Description

Climb up underneath the bush and move left to gain a crack. Follow the crack up underneath a roof. Head under the roof's left side and then continue straight up to the anchor.

Location

As you come up the path and reach a cliff face, this climb is to the left side of a clump of birch trees at the base. It starts below a juniper bush about 15' up the climb. Can rap down or 4th class up to Precipice Right.

Protection

A normal rack. Would say 'G' except you can't get a piece in for the first 15', but it's easy climbing to that point. There is a 2 bolt anchor with rap rings at the top.
