Description
With it's easy approach, fun moves and varied climbing it's easy to see why this route is so popular.
The crack is enjoyable throughout it's entire length, with stemming, jamming and combinations of the two techniques all played out on good rock.
Gear belay and a somewhat circuitous but easy downclimb off the slabby backside. Hint: once down to the desert floor, head left and then follow a trail that will circle back towards the base of the climb.
