Description
Although there is a large ledge halfway up the route...
It's a great climb, and the first one you see when you hit the cliff from the spur trail. Well worth the effort of setting it up, this climb can be done in three distinct ways, or ten slightly different ways, all of which have great rock, great position, and a little thought-provocation.
I've taken the liberty of downgrading the route so that the grade is consistent with the grades of the region (if you get the chance, do a 10a slab in Yosemite for comparison to the historical grade for this climb). Whatever the difficulty, this is a lot of fun, and it should be the first thing you set up at the crag.
