Description
As you walk to the formation from the road the main concentration of climbs forms a "U" that faces the road. This route is the bolted climb on the left (west) side of the "U."
The bottom of the climb has many large bushes, making access a bit difficult.
Climb a short, left-facing flake to a ceiling. Move up and left to a jug at the lip of the ceiling. A finger-sized piece can be placed by the jug, but beware the jug is a bit loose. Make a difficult move to get stood atop the jug at the base of a groove/ramp. Climb the groove/ramp past two bolts.
There's no anchor on top of the formation and downclimbing the back side is tricky. In the gully behind the formation, you can rig an anchor with blue and gold Camalots. After following, the second can rappel back down the route on the fixed line and you can then disassemble the anchor and toss the rope over the top.
