Description

P1. 5.9, 6b, 95', 2 stars. This route starts just left of the large rotten dihedral. Scramble up low angle rock to access the vertical cliff. Clip a bolt 6' up the steep section and follow the sport line up 50' of technical climbing before gaining a ledge. Move left at the top of the route to a chain anchor.

P2. 5.7, 4b, 90' 2 stars. This route starts at the base of the gully and climbs straight up moderate moves protected three bolts. From here it is an easy scramble to the chain anchor at the top of the route.

Decent: From the two bolt anchor do two rappels to get back down to the ground.
