Description
This is a two pitch trad/mixed route. The first pitch is long and takes gear only. The second pitch has bolts to a finger crack. Climb past a small roof (left) up the black water streak to the ledge belay. Then crimp and finger lock you way to the top of the wall.
Location
You can approach from Divide Rd. Park next to the old camping spot(the now fenced in area just past the quarry), and walk to the west along the top of the cliff to where the water drains over the edge (big grassy flat area 5 minutes (or less) from the car). Scramble down six frrt to a big ledge and a bolted anchor, and rap twice to the ground. OR from the canyon bottom, park at the old quarry entrance, and directly above where the entrance and the road meet, you are looking a small roof about 40 feet up with a black streak on the left side. Climb up that to a ledge with a head wall and follow crack and bolts to the top.
