Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Route Description 

Climb a dihedral with a fixed pin and a 2-bolt station at the top.
I enjoyed the route.

Approach 

The approach is arduous with a lot of bushwhacking, loose terrain and a 4th Class slab. It took me about 60 minutes. Hike to the base of Animal Crackers. Climb the first 2 pitches of Animal Crackers.

Protection 

Protection opportunities are frequent along the entire route.
I recommend 8 cams (0.4"-3.5"), 8 nuts (0.3"-1"), 32 carabiners & 12 runners (24"). An experienced leader might use less.

Descent 

I scrambled north. But you can also do three 2-rope rappels.
