Description
Left of the route Lady J is this steep line of bolts up some nice looking features. After 20 feet the angle eases and becomes a trad line, following a crack for the last 15 feet. NOTE: Be prepared to build a trad anchor at the top, using small to medium cams. Belay the second up, then descend via an easy, exposed scramble north (climber's left). Since it is so short, you can quickly scramble to the top to check out the descent before climbing and decide the size of pro you will need.
CAVEATS: I have not climbed this route, so take the difficulty, rating, and pro sizes as guesses. I did the easy scramble up the north end of the crag to the top of the route, so the descent info is accurate. This route does not seem to have been previously published. I added this route to MP to prevent anyone from heading up it assuming it is purely a sport route, which has happened. From the base of the route you cannot see the upper portion. A beta photo shows the upper part of the route.
