Good warm up climb.

Description 

Work your way past an awkward slick (and often wet) spot (crux), then up easier rock on large holds to the anchors.

A nice warm-up and immensely popular. Get there early on a nice weekend.


Location 

The middle of three bolted routes on the face just right and slightly upslope from the large shelter cave (Narcissus Cave). Look for a wet or stained spot about 15 feet up.


Protection 

6 bolts + 2-bolt anchor.

CONDITION REPORT 

The left hanger at the anchor was super loose. It was only a few turns from coming off entirely. Bring a wrench if you climb this one.

CONDITION REPORT 

In response to Jack's comment, while thankful for the info, please do not take a wrench up and tighten down any hangers, you can cause more harm than good if you don't know what you are doing.

Good fun route to start off the day.

Belaying area is rather funky being that it is on a slope.
