Description

Face climb on handrails, crimps and knobs to the right edge of a small roof, clipping bolts as you go. Top out here or traverse left under the roof using a horizontal crack mostly hand and fist-sized.

Location

Walk up toward Inspiration Point at the H2 parking area and find a climber's trail left around the cliff edge. The route begins below two bolts with a handrail traversing up and left.

Protection

Build a top-rope anchor on a tree over the edge of the cliff or lead the route with 3 quick draws and singles in .3-4 for the roof traverse.
