Description Far right line. This is almost a gully climb. It has like one 5.6 move (getting off the ground), and then it eases to 5.3 or 5.4. Not a great route
Location In the gully on the far right. Rap off.
Protection 4 bolts. Although it can be led very safely trad.

| While I wouldn't consider it a super quality or challenging climb, it is a great place to get someone a bit scared of climbing to do a TR. The low angle and numerous, large footholds definitely increase a beginner's confidence. It certainly gets a star for confidence builder.
When clipping the anchors, clip the higher set - maybe not 5.6 to get to, but less drag for a lower or TR. |

| Bottom was V-easy (touch bouldery). Last 10' two options - left crack, right face (mild exposure). TR from upper (left) anchors reached by trail, there's an anchor there to protect while setting QD's. |

| This route is best done from the lower anchors - but use a long runner so that there is no rope rub. This is definitely not a 5.6 - more like a 5.3. Every foot has a plethra of jugs. Great for taking a new person. |

| Great to take a beginner on, or a beginner belayer whom you're not comfortable falling on yet. I used the anchors to the left to make it a bit longer. |
