Description

Start with burly moves on good in cut crimps to a large rail then creep past the second bolt which would be best not to miss the clip on. Continue up great in cut crimps and jugs to a ledge that you clip the anchors from.

Location

Far left side of the gallery. This line climbs the short pocketed face to the left of the small amphitheater. Keep walking along the cliff until the trail cuts away and this route is right there.

Protection

5 Bolts to anchors

[Hide Comment] This is a really fun route!! Tough little boulder problem off the ground leads to great, mellow movements through good holds. End with a mantle to spice things up a bit to a sit down finish to clip the chains. Nov 20, 2016

[Hide Comment] Really enjoyed this route, lots of fun. The boulder down low was not that tricky and holds were quite good. Here is a 3rd person video if your interested: youtu.be/dlP7bkKEtTM Mar 17, 2025
