Description 

This is a great, easy, 3 pitch, pure trad line and a rare gem on these walls where gear is typically sparse, random or shady. Begin where the approach trail hits the wall and trend left into a shallow, right-facing corner. Follow the crack/slab as it arcs right to a 2-bolt anchor on a small ledge. Continue to follow the crack to a second, smaller belay ledge with another 2-bolt anchor. The final pitch runs straight up the featured face (through broken, roof-like rock) to a final 2-bolt anchor just below a large ledge. 3 single rope (60m) raps gets you back on the deck.

Location 

This is the leftmost route on the East wall. Begin where the approach trail hits the wall and trend left into a shallow, right-facing corner.

Protection 

A standard rack with cams to 3" and and a selection of medium to large stoppers.
