Description
Best done in 2 short pitches, although you can lead it in one if you really watch out for rope drag, but then you'll miss out on the view from the cool cave belay and its natural rock seat!
The first pitch hand traverses up and right across a dike past 4 bolts to a belay alcove with 2 bolts. Pitch 2 traverses left, then up steeper face climbing to the top (6 bolts and 2 fixed pins). Bolted belay/rap anchor. Rap 80 feet to the ground.
