Description

A true classic for any lazy sun bather who happens upon this Yosemite paradise. This short but sweet climb features easy crimps, jugs, and ledges. Zero protection and a dangerous fall into six inches of water and slippery stones, but well worth it.

Don't fall. Just don't.

Location

Climb out of the water (after swimming to the base of the rock). You'll find a submerged boulder next to the Jumping Rock, which you can wade from to start the climb. Climb straight up the obvious jugs, crimps, and ridges (middle of the face of the rock).

Protection

None, a fleet of pool floaties might work.
