Description
A good route, especially the upward leaning crack on the second pitch. It has some fun climbing and good exposure.
P1 (5.8 120'): Start up an easy slab, aiming for a short, steep dihedral. There used to be a tree here there's only a little bit of a stump. It's right above a ledge so even though you do get a little bit of gear, it could be consequential.From there, continue up easier ground past a bolt to a two-bolt rap anchor beneath the crack of P2.
P2 (5.8+, 50'): A short but fun pitch. Start under the roof, making an awkward move to get established in the crack. Possible to protect this move with really small or slightly large pro (4" probably - we didn't have on). From there climb up the crack. Fun movement throughout. Stop at a nice belay with a 2 bolt anchor.
From here, a double-rope rappel will take you back to the ground or with the addition of Flight of the Manatee, you can now do this in two single-rope rappels. Two other finishes will also take you to the top of the cliff (recommended).
If you have an 80 m rope, you can get down in one rappel
