Description
P1. Generally easy climbing up the corner leads to a steep move to gain the left side of the crystal alcove, 5.9ish.
P2. Traverse left around the tree, and climb up on excellent holds to the next belay, 5.8.
P3. Climb the south side of the tower. This is easier than it looks, 5.8.
Rap the route.
A 70m will allow you to rap from the second belay to the ground. Knot the ends, and check to make sure your rope touches the ground before leaving the crystal alcove.
