Description

Better than Beer and Pretzels ascends a fairly low angle slab with big holds just left of the dam. To reach it, take a right after walking under the chockstone. The route is a few hundred feet down the trail, and is the most obvious, least runout, and easiest looking line of bolts.The best part of the route is topping out and looking down at the lake. This is a beautiful spot, and a great safe moderate climb.
