Description
The climbing on this route is fun, and it ranges from good hands to baggy fingers. That being said, basically everything else about this route sucks. The approach is a total bush wack, the route is still a bit dirty, the sandstone on this cliff is so soft despite my best efforts I was not able to place reasonable bolts (when I brushed the whole, the brush would wear away the rock, aka not ideal). There is a nice tree directly above and behind the route which is great for top roping, but between the tree and the route is a large boulder with a very sharp edge which gave my rope a core shot while I TR soloed the route. this was just something that I tried to do after work one day, and if you want a funky/bush wacky/logistical/60ft/out of the way crack, this might be the one for you. Otherwise I would recommend just doing the headache across the valley.
