Description
A classic route that climbs a very unique sloping ramp. The first pitch (50') is pumpy the whole time and has great rock quality. There is a 2nd pitch that goes at 5.11- I believe, but it rarely gets done.
IMHO, a glaring omission from Selected Climbs, which ironically features a full-page photo of this route but no description.
