Description

M2 is a mixed line lacking difficulty, but it keeps you on your toes due to the level of loose rock on this line. M2 begins at a wide crack at the base of the crag approximately 50 feet uphill from Plan C.

Climb the crack to a ledge, then make some fun moves up a shallow corner system on sub-par rock to the top.

The upper corner is the physical crux of the route, but it seems more difficult due to poor rock quality.

Protection seems easy to find on this line, but beware the rock quality.

Location

This route is located approximately 50 feet uphill from "Plan C."

Look for a wide crack at the base of the climb.

Protection

Traditional rack to a #4.
