Description
Starting beneath the snout of rock, navigate to the left side and up over hollow-sounding plates. The line continues up the obvious crack in solid granite. About 3/4 of the way up is a 2 or 3 inch chockstone above which the difficulty of the climbing eases. Continue to a gear belay near the top of the first pitch of Gemstone. From there, we continued up the route Christian Rock.
The old Loucks' guide rates both this route and Gemstone as 5.9. This route is more sustained than P2 of Gemstone.
