Description

Follow bolts up a "valley" between two "mountains" towards the top of the wall. 4 pitches, anchors/rap stations set up to rappel with a 70M rope. Bolts are generally 15-20 feet or so apart, but climbing is generally easy on textured granite.
Pitch 1: Begin off to the right of a large ledge. First bolt is low to to prevent a long fall to the ground to the right of the ledge. Travel upwards toward the low spot between two roofs, bolted anchor is just below these features. 5.6, 6 bolts, 35M
Pitch 2: Head up through the "pass" between the two small roofs and continue toward the anchor. 5.6, 5 bolts, 35 M
Pitch 3: Follow bolts over easy slab towards the anchors. 5.4, 4 bolts, 35M
Pitch 4: Easy fifth class climbing past bolts towards anchors at the top of the wall. 5.easy, 4 bolts, 35 M
Either Rappel with at least a single 70M rope or walk off up and right. Beware of Loose rock.
