Description
This route is mostly an EZ hike until the top where there's maybe a couple 5.6 moves. A bit mossy, untraveled, gritty, and not very aesthetic. So what's the lure? Well, when you top out, you realize you either have to walk off or donate some webbing/biners to rap off a horn. You cannot get to the top of the chains like you would for Ramp and Double Cracks. I chose the walk off as I'm cheap. It should be fairly evident that only a moron with nothing better to do would do this route just by looking at it. But, as an excuse, I was playing guide to a horde of midgets and thought this and the 2 routes to the left would work well to keep them occupied and thinking of things other than circus abuse from the carnies.
