Description
The crux is probably 5.9 but is only the first 8 feet off the ground and well-protected. The rest can be done in two pitches (85' and 65') or one long pitch. There is lichen in places, but use will fix that. The climbing is varied, imaginative and fun.
Begin in the obvious alcove below bolts for 2 sport routes. Climb the tricky start, and hand traverse up and right to a strange squeeze at the apex. Continue up the v-slot to a belay (or not) at the base of a chimney. Climb the chimney, and continue up the outside of the wide crack (stemming not OW) on to easier ground to the top.
