Easy to top rope, a few good solo's, etc... Walk up the backside and down the same way. Often crowded with classes. Short climbs. Easy and good for beginners or for those that enjoy freedom from gear.

Great route with bouldery start. Put it on a higher respected formation and it would get consistant stars. Always fun....edges, chickenheads, cracks.....best route on the mound usually gets two laps because of it.
