Description

This is a fun climb that has crux moves to get going and then face and slab climbing up higher. Climb past the ring piton (crux) to a stance, clip a bolt, move up and past a horizontal to another bolt. Clip two more bolts (trending right at the last) to a two-bolt rappel anchor.

Location

This is towards the left side of the crag. The guidebook mentions a dead tree at the base but it's no longer there. This route climbs the face between two wide cracks. Look for a ring piton down low and a bolt about fifteen feet up.

Protection

Four bolts, piton, and a light rack to a #1 camalot. There's finger-size gear available near the piton. The route ends at a two-bolt rappel anchor near the top of the crag.
