Description
This is a fun steep route that is novel as it tops out directly at one of the overlook spots. The rock is pretty good but can seem a bit dirty at times. The second pitch was re-bolted to make it safer - there was ledge fall potential above the crux during the first several ascents.
P-1 Climb past a large cam #4 to a line of 3 bolts that lead to a ledge for an optional belay at bolts.
P-2 Boulder up and right past 3 bolts to another ledge and belay out right at bolts (shared anchor). Note: protect the second with gear directional before moving right to anchor. If rapping down, one 60 meter rope will suffice.
P-3 No FFA yet. Climbs the roof corner past a couple pins and a bolt to the top of the overlook. One could easily scare a tourist upon "popping" around the corner of the roof, so be cautious here!
