Description

This climb is not very good but is something to do if you have a rack and want to climb as many routes at Table Mtn. as possible. The pro to the top of the large block at the start is not very good, but this section is easy climbing. As you continue up the crack above, you must pass through a bush. Above is the best climbing which is in an open book with a decent crack. This area is the crux. What is bad here is that the rock contains a lot of lichen. The moves are fun, but it is too short really. You top out on a good ledge system, but the anchor possibilities are not great, and there is much loose gravel lying about. The climb is only worth doing if you are trying to tick a lot of routes in the area.

Location

This climb is located between Quayle Eats Bush and Crowbar Cowboy. The start is on the right side of a large block that's left side is ascended by Quayle Eats Bush. You walk off to the north or find a nearby sport anchor to descend from.

Protection

Standard rack up to a #4 Camalot. There is no fixed anchor.
