Description
This is a very short but super fun route with an interesting mix of climbing. It gets afternoon shade.
Climb the face up to a seam where some shallow gear can be placed. Move up to a stance and a bolt then a thin face move to good holds and gear. Move up and right to finish on the short but fun seam/crack (crux). Bolt anchor on top.
Location
On the left wall just shy of the entrance corridor.
Protection
Light rack to a #2 or 3 camelot. Small to medium stoppers.
