Description
If ever there was an All Star, Hall of Fame, Legends climbing team this is it. Too bad the route isn't longer with better climbing.
Pitch 1 - climb up a small right-facing dihedral and face and belay at two bolts.
Pitch 2 - Traverse up and right to a short headwall with three bolts(crux) and arrive at a small ledge with two bolts. You can belay here or continue up about 30-40 feet to a ledge with a gear belay and a bush/small tree.
Pitch 3 - Climb more or less straight up from the ledge with the bush/tree skirting several small overlaps to low angle slopes(5.5).
If you belayed on pitch 2 at the double bolts you might not make it to a gear belay at the top of the pitch. There is a single 3/8" bolt for a belay if you are out of rope. If you belayed on the ledge or have a long rope you can reach a gear belay where the climbing eases.
