Description
Looking for an easy and fun 5.6 gear lead? Look elsewhere.
Squeezing the Lemmon rates this a 5.6 and gives it a star, which is absurd. Climbaz.com gives this a 5.9, which may be a bit too rough. Still, this isn't the place to learn gear placing skills in a mellow environment. The climb follows a chimey-ish corner for about 40 feet and then turns up a flaring groove up to a pair of chains. There's very little to recommend here.
This, and the adjacent Toy Roof (5.9), can easily be top-roped.
