Description

Climbing up this is no big deal, climbing down with a rope, pack etc is more of a problem. Strongly recommend you thread the chains and rap down Ooga Booga.

Location

Walk up the gully to the base of the wall. There will be a clean black streak in front of you (Ooga Booga). Look 15ft to your left and you will see some bolts. Follow them up the 5-easy face to the ledge, then turn right and follow a ramp past a couple more bolts, the chains, and into the alcove. You can belay kids or seconds up from the chains if they don't want to solo this approach.

Protection

4 bolts to chains
