Do not park in the residential neighborhood! Park in the designated lot MORE INFO >>>
There is an excellent parking lot available (thanks to the BC Climbers Access Society, I believe), but people continue to park in the residential areas anyway.
This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund,
and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

Description This short crack is a good intro climb for new leaders. This may be a better way to get to the hand crack on Bilbo Baggins (5.9).
Location South of the Main Wall of Burgers and Fries. Head up a small side trail through the trees, and go right at the wall. You will come to a left-facing groove/dihedral. This groove is the start for Bilbo Baggins (5.9). Just to the left is the start for Gollum. Around the corner to the right is Frodo's First Step.
Protection Small rack to 2 inches. Two bolts at the top, though I recommend a directional if you are going to top-rope the route (to keep the rope out of the crack). You can walk off right (with a spotter at the bottom), or rappel off of trees.
