Description
This route looks cool climbing through blocky overhangs bast two bolts on on white rock. Right now though it could use a good trundle...
I started up the dirty vertical crack that seems to be the most obvious line up to the overhangs. Above this I started up towards the two bolts but got hung up trying to find gear in loose blocks, tapping them caused scary vibrations... Its easy to back off and move right up sturdy blocks to the bolt on Ed's.
Jamie Cunningham: I did the FA in 1993, just after my son Wesley was born on May 21, 1993.
The route pretty much takes a direct line up through the "Gunks like: horizontal cracks (now very dirty), through a mushroom cap, and then through the 2-bolts head wall. The lower portion of the climb is actually fun climbing with descent protection, if someone would bother to clean it up.
