Description

CAUTION: I did minimal cleaning on this route for the protection and will come back to finish cleaning it. Its a full on gardening and vegetation climb especially near the top until I am done cleaning it.

Fun moves and great climbing. It might be easier if you are taller.

The route starts to the right of the boulder and goes up about 10 feet until its possible to "Step Over" left to the ledge to continue up. Continue up past a block. There is an alternate way up -- instead of stepping over and continuing straight up from the "Step Over" ledge, climb up to the small roof/block and then left.

Anchor: A tree at the top.

Location

As you enter the playground area, it is the first route with a detached large boulder under the arete.

The route starts just to the right of the boulder.

Protection

A basic rack. Small cams up to #2. Tree anchor on top.

I would not recommend for a new leader due to the protection in the beginning and the big boulder that is right under your feet with a possibility of a ledge fall if you don't stick the "Step Over" hence the PG13 rating.
