Description

Originally thinking this line would be much harder, we were very plesantly surprised at how great the eyebrows were up high. If this were a longer route it'd definitely get 4 stars. Very much like climbing at Looking Glass with wild brows on steep stone.

P-1
Climb onto a small ledge just above the ground to place your first piece - yellow tcu size out right. Boulder out to good holds and a bolt, then up to a stance. Move up and right onto the eyebrow laced face and climb past buckets and a few slopers. The face is protected by 2 bolts and cams up to a # 2 camelot. A final bit of steep brow climbing gains a slab that leads to a 2 bolt anchor at about 80'.

P-2
Climb a short steep wall on cool holds past a bolt to easier terrain. Slightly runout climbing gets you past a couple more placements to the top and a 2 bolt anchor just below the trees.
