Description

Pitch 1 40m
Start 10 meters right of the watchtower crack in the obvious crack. The crack should take you up and to the right which has a nice ledge.

Pitch 2 20m
Begin moving to the crack but stay on the right side. Then break left and up to a smaller ledge right before the wall kicks back.

Pitch 3 15m
Climb straight up until you get to a cave. Belay here.

Pitch 4 30m
Aim up and stay left or you will pull some moves on some less than ideal holds. Enjoy the jug haul to the top.
