Description
Down and right from Grit Roof, the obvious roof crack visible from the parking area, is this short fun face.
Climb steep, featured rock to a high first bolt and then move right and up the steep, frictiony face past two more bolts [hangers replaced 2/16/01 - ed.] to an anchor atop a sloping ramp. Rap or downclimb the ramp (to the climber's left) back to the base.
A quick hit if in the area and a good warm-up route to do in between some of the nearby classics. One star out of five.
