Description
Groovy is a mellow route, but there is nothing wrong with that - there is no need to change into climbing shoes, even. Approach shoes are just fine for this one. Rack up a single set of cams, and head up the slot, climbing and protecting mostly on the right side. As the system widens and goes to low angle after about 60', head up and right on low angle rock to a set of bolt anchors as for Dead Deer Cracks and Iced Tea.
These each have a biner on them and could really use some links or chain so that they don't pinch the rope when you try to pull after a rap.
There is a possible second pitch that takes you to the right hand shoulder of the summit and a walkoff, but this means you'll have to reaccess the mid-rock ledge again to get back to the base and the other climbs in the area.
Location
Just a few meters left of Dead Deer Cracks, there lies a wide slot/chimney above a set of juniper trees (Gillett refers to these as cedars). Climb up past the lower one, and belay the leader up above the second.
