Description Suggest change

A really nice 2 pitch route, that can be a 3 or even 4 pitch if you want it longer !
(You can add a pitch before -in the Planetarium area to reach the ledge- or after -see the comments for more infos)

P1 (130ft - 40m): Start on the ledge, follow a little crack up to an horizontal crack. Then reach the "railway" above and follow the steps to the left until you reach the first bolted anchor.
The pitch cross 2 bolted routes, thus you can use 2 bolts if nobody is climbing there !
Otherwise, the pros are quite far from each other : beware of the whipper ! (for the lead climber and the second !)

P2 (130ft - 40m): From the belay, climb the obvious dihedral above you. A really nice pitch. Ends with a bolted anchor on a comfortable ledge.

Descent : 3 Rappels
R1 : Be careful with your rope length , a 70m rope isn't enough to reach the first anchor
R2 : From the first bolted anchor rappel down to an intermediate belay station on a ledge
R3 : You reach the ground a the base of the impressive roof section.

Location Suggest change

The route starts on the same ledge than Pixie :
From the Planetarium area, hike the trail going up along the cliff, and head left at the second ledge (there is a cabled wire to secure yourself)
Go to the end of the ledge, there is a bolted anchor to secure the belayer. The route starts a few meters before the anchor.
