Description

Face climbing on brilliantly patina-ed rock that is broken up with good rests.

You can set up a TR from a very adventurous scramble/climb up the back left of the formation, that is accessed up the first slot to the right of "The Toprope route". Reaching down to the anchors could be very deadly without setting some pro up above and rapping into it. I hope to retro bolt this in the future to make it safer.

Location

From the Toprope route, bushwhack two 'slots' to the right and then head up hill. Once you are about as far uphill as you can get before it dead-ends, look up. This route is right of sport route #2. Anchors have to be accessed as listed above.

Protection

Two bolt anchors. Rap to anchors after building your own with slings/gear. Trying to reach down to the anchors from above would likely be deadly.
