Description
Climb the hand crack in the corner to the right of the pipe. The first 25 feet are a nice crack with no face holds. From here I went through the arch and finished by sitting on top of the arch, but I may have used the pipe to ascend part of that section.
My belayer belayed from the ledge with the tree at the base of the crack. I think it's safer that way.
The guide book says 70ft, but its 35ft tops.
The climbing isn't bad, but it's short. The little bit of added adventure/ not straight forward cragging made it more fun for me.
