Description

I am not sure why this route gets overlooked. Perhaps its stature or the rating. Actually it is not that great but it does make a good beginner lead or alternate descent. Climb a short left slanting crack (see photo). I met one of the colorful locals here. Mr. Locker gave me a spot for the solo of this route.
