Description

Some thoughtful moves, but short.
Still has dirt and vegetation on it (as of 2017).

Scramble up the vague wide gully, perhaps at first on its left, then cross over to right.

warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber - (and if possible, behind a large tree).

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

Location

Vague wide gully up around the left end of the routes, to the right from below a rock slab.

Protection for Trad leading is unknown and likely inadequate.
