This is an obvious two pitch crack at the center of the wall. The first pitch is about 100 feet long and allot of fun. It ends at a bolted belay. Pitch two goes to the top of the cliff and a belay must be built. Walk off to the south.
Fun to do both pitches although one 60 m rope will take you to the top (barely). We rappelled off the top in lieu of walking off. We used two ropes but I have rapped off of this route using one rope to the belay station and then down.
There is an old, bent piton at the top but one can easily run a long sling around a crack for the anchor.
The belay station in the middle of the route has two good bolts at a nice ledge and easily accommodated our party of three.
From the 'hanging' belay we angled to climber's right to the alcove where the tree is then traversed left along an easy ramp. As I was the last to follow and the route had been cleaned, I simply went straight up the face which could be led but with more sketchy pro. Some of the flakes on this upper face had loose blocks on them.
Fun, easy route. Good route for intro to multi-pitch climbing.
