Description

I bolted this for my daughter to eventually lead when she is old enough.  This is a great route for beginners and children.  The climbing is enjoyable on chert nodules with elegant texture. The bolts are closely spaced. You can easily reach the chains on this one if you want to set up a TR.  

Location

The first route you come to on your left as you walk up the canyon.  On the furthest left of the rock band.

[Hide Comment] Easy scramble to the left corner of the route, to the ledge that has the anchors for setting up a top rope. The image with the route topos was very helpful. Oct 12, 2023
