Description Easy Rider is the first bolted climb you see after hiking up the Climber's Loop trail from the South kiosk. Climb up and left from the base of the rock past three bolts to a ledge. Traverse right then up again to the anchor.
Protection Four (4) bolt protection. Two bolt anchor. A TR may be set up by accessing the anchor from the back side of the rock.

| This route is probably one of the most popular climbs in Mission Gorge. It's very well protected and is a great "first lead of the day". The crux move is after the third bolt at the route's steepest section. Most climbers transition left, avoiding a difficult mantle move, then move back right once gaining the ledge. Be careful downclimbing from the anchor on the backside of the formation if leading this route. |

| This is a good climb but real slippery! It is unfortunate that it is so easy to bail to the ledges on the left to avoid the crux. |

| Just climbed this one again after a few years. My partner (new leader) bailed after the 2nd bolt. It's no gimme at 5.7, and the big ledges and bad landing put you in the no-fall zone for much of the climb. |
