Description 

Very poular route, beginning is deceptive and often gives climbers trouble, crux is first 20 feet. Upgraded to a 5.10 after re-climbing the first 20 feet.
Very spacious at base but lots of big pokey rocks.


Location 

Near the center of the "Main wall", recognized by right leaning chalked triangular shaped rock start.


Protection 

Decent number of bolts, anchors at top
