Entrance to the Canyon.

Unknown short route far up the canyon. Maybe 5.9, 2 bolts to anchor.

Met the legend Alex Colville on June, 8 2018. The man was turning 68! He left his book here for everyone to use. He was hoping that it would be worn down, beat up, and used hoping it would still be there for the years to come. Thank you, Alex!!!
