Description

Continue along the base trail past two breaks in the cliff band, then past The Showdown Wall, then a third break. After the third break is the Transition Zone.

** All routes are equipped with steel lowering hardware. Please avoid toproping through the lowering hardware as both gates of the hooks are oriented facing forward and don't offer sufficient protection for toproping. Instead, build your own anchor with personal gear and have only the last person lower off the fixed lowering hardware.
