1) Never park or camp overnight at the access points.
2) Always park off the pavement, taking great care to avoid blocking the gates.
3) Clean up after your dogs. (Local climbers are finding abandoned doggie poop bags.)
4) Pack out all trash and TP, including picking up after others.
5) Use the outhouses if at all possible.
Description
Originally a brushy, dirty, solo (wow Scott), sporting the dreaded black dot in Marty's guide. Now cleaned and bolted with permission from Scott Ayers. Not sure if it ever got a second ascent, maybe Old5ten? Can be a quick easy approach pitch for Vapor Trail or just fun slabbing practice for those not wanting to do a second pitch.
Don't let the starting traverse to the right bog you down, its just a simple (or not) puzzle of figuring out which foot to start with. Higher, keeping a close eye out for small features makes things easier on the thinner slabby moves. Feel free, at the top, to clip or skip the last bolt before the ledge and the easy scramble to the anchor.
