Description

Well-protected route on positive holds, mellow. Stick-clip the high first bolt and work a side-pull flake over a small roof to get off the ground. An array of pockets, jugs, and crimps lead the climber into one more thoughtful section and moderate cruising above.

*Short gap between 3rd and 4th bolt is 5.6 climbing*

Location

This route is located climber's right of the NF sign at the top of the approach trail. A nice belay area and a small roof mark the start of this climb. Look for the first stainless glue-in above the roof.
