Description

Scramble up to a ledge to reach a really high first bolt. You can get some cams to protect the first clip. Pull over a bulge, and be prepared to get "schooled"! Continue straight up to the top.

There is a good #2 in a pod for an anchor as well as other bad gear. There is a small tree about 20' back from the top. It's an easy scramble around the right side of the crag and across the east face to reach the top.
