Description
From Leopard's Skin, walk north on the second tier until you see a small area of sculpted sandstone on the wall. Bolts are visible from there and the first move is pulling through that small bulge. Route trends left on the slab and then up. Total of 5 pitches and finishes with a great top-out.
You can link pitches 1&2 and 4&5 with a 70 meter rope.
Descent
After topping out, I prefer scrambling North a little and rappelling Will's Rush. 3 clean, easy rappels to the ground with 1 70m rope.
Scramble up and almost over the top of the formation, staying along the west side, where you can clearly see the park road and all the parking lots below. This rap line runs down the top pitch of Will's Rush to a tree behind a flat rock feature called "The Intersection Ledge." A 70m will easily land you behind the tree, back from the ledge. From there, hop down 3 meters to the next anchor system and rap 35 long meters to the ground. If'n you're rocking a 60m, there's another midway anchor about halfway down from the Intersection Ledge.
I suppose you could rappel the route, but more things for the rope to get stuck on. This is quickly becoming a local classic and seeing a lot of traffic. Please use the alternate to the north when possible.
