Description

A very easy climb with great hand holds and better feet. Perfect for a beginner trying to get used to the height. It is more of a walk up and no real power or strength is needed. I had a great time learning here.

Location

The route is on the upper tier, to the right of a big slabby section. There is a small crack to the right of Star Fire (very fun), and further to the right is a grade 4 gully. The route has a reddish/orange hue to it, with some nice white rocks in the crack. You can't miss it. You can walk down either side from the top or rappel down.

Protection

I would recommend a top rope setup. There are a few trees and a boulder at the top to anchor from. There are a few fixed bolts that could never break, ever - but they are a bit off sides or too far back. About 50ft of some static nylon and some slings will make a great setup.
