Description

There used to be a tree here that has since fallen off.

Climb the gully to the left of the Cave route. After the gully, keep left, passing a bolt, until you reach the anchors (rap rings) on the left. The gully can be lead with a cam or two.

A top rope can be set up by scrambling up from the north side of Indian Rock.

This route typically climbed as a prelude to Cave route. After finishing this climb, lower through the cave to setup for that route.

Location

On the south side of Indian Rock, start in the cave and head left up the obvious gully.

Protection

A cam or two for the gully, a bolt on the face
