Description
Interesting climbing, good rock, ideal location--all in all a fun diversion on busy weekends.
There is one hard, height-dependent move past the overhang. The grade only applies if you can reach the decisive handhold.

Location
Located just downstream from the main wall. Look for an obvious pipe that sticks up from a ledge at mid-height. The climbing starts from a flat boulder above a small swimming hole.
(Interestingly, the first recent ascent was done without the benefit of bolts. From a stance below the overhang, the climbing rope was tossed up and over the pipe. In this way, a top rope was created for protecting the crux move. Purists should feel free to climb the route in this style ;)
