[Hide Comment] This route is on left (north) end of the main upper wall. It's an easy trad lead or reasonable free solo and a good first route for beginners. I added quicklinks on the bolt hangers to facilitate rapping. It is best to use additional draws for lowering to avoid twisting the rope (it could use chains or second pair of links to avoid twisting). Dec 23, 2018
