Description
We started on a flake, that is maybe 5.6, then the slab climbing above is fun and easy to a two bolt anchor. Just to the left, is an ancient 1/4" bolt. Pitch two, is straight friction slab climbing. You can walk off, or, below the top is a knob where a gear anchor can be built to bring up a second.
Location
Ascend the crack formed by a flake at the bottom, then head for the two bolt anchor. Pitch two, head up to the knob to build an anchor for a second, or head for the top.
Protection
No anchors except the two newer and one ancient one, right in the middle of the slab (top of pitch one). Not much of anyplace useful to put pro en route either, so you are on your own getting a rope up top. If someone in your group can manage that, though, it is fun and easy climbing on top rope, even for beginners.
