Description

This was originally cleaned up to supplement the stock of easy routes for guiding purposes. I think it's now one of the best on the wall for introducing people to climbing. It's face climbing on good holds rather than the awkward crack climbing that can be found on its neighbors to the right. Starting on the ledge to the right of the climb is the best option to keep the grade in the beginner category.
