Description

Mostly moderate 5.10 climbing with a few 11+ cruxes on the 4th and 7th pitches.

Start up an easy right-leaning 5th class ramp. The og 1st pitch goes out right below the yew tree and up a hard crack and easy face. The better start is to continue up and into the chimney where you’ll find a lie-back that gives way to a full stem. Continue up past a couple bolts and to the first anchor. 2nd pitch goes up casual 5.9/10 knobs. 3rd pitch steepens a bit up through knobs and bolts and the occasional crack placement to big ledge. Move to left side of ledge to start the 4th up through technical moves on some gear and bolts. 5th is an intermediate choss pitch up ramp and left past a small live oak to belay at base of knobby buttress. 6th goes up juggy knobs to a few hand cracks. 7th goes up steep knobs to a ledge and the final crux right below the top anchor.
