Description Suggest change

This is a great practice trad route!!! If you are just learning to place gear and want a cool route to get on and sew up with bomber gear, then you must do this climb.... It takes nuts cams and tricams very well and is more fun than most other super moderate trad routes....

Start by scrambling up to a stance on a cracked ledge.... Place a couple pieces and head up the crack system.... There are a bunch of cracks to choose from. Follow the path of least resistance. As the angle eases up the cracks are fewer and some friction is helpful....

A good toprope for beginners....

Location Suggest change

Look for the multi-cracked face to slab as you approach the crow's nest.... It used to be the first route you come to, but there are a few routes right of it now.... PeeWee's is just right of the newly added bolted chimney climb....

Protection Suggest change

Trad gear up to #1 or #2 cam...takes nuts really well...2 fat glue-in bolt anchor (rap rather than lower if there are no rings or quicklinks to save wear on the bolts pls)
