Description

This route is very short and has a boulder type start. All the hard moves are right at the beginning. The route follows the obvious features to the top and a set of belay rings. As with many of the routes in this area, some of the rock is not the best, especially at the top. There has been a large quantity of rock removed from the route to make it safe but there will still be some small pieces breaking loose. This should alleviate itself in time. However, caution and proper safety gear should always be used. This is a top-rope only route. It will also be possible to boulder this route in the near future.

Location

This route is located to the far left, about 8’ to the right of an old drill bit sticking out of the rock. There is a topo located in front of the wall.

Protection

Ring anchors at top.
