Description
From the Unexpected Party ledge, climb the wall directly behind the pine tree rappel. The lower portion of this wall is great quality rock. The crux is a small roof-like feature that has great holds on the face but could be a hard reach for a novice leader. Once over this feature gain the long ledge, about 2 feet wide.
From this ledge there are 2 options: belay from here and follow the ledge to the Tunnel of Love rappel, or climb up the next face to the top of the wall and then walk to Tunnel of Love. The top-most section of rock is not good at all and probably should be skipped. Broken holds and crumbling rock is very common.
