Description

The beginning is a flare, but is almost all beautiful handjams. I would recommend this climb to anyone. A great moderate crack climb for beginners.

Climb a 5.7 flared chimney to a belay.

Continue up for a 5.8 pitch, passing double cracks and two roofs.

Rappel beta: 70 meter rope required. At the top of the ramp after the second roof on pitch 2 one will find a sketchy dead tree, don't rap here. Continue climbing up a short knob section to a mostly dead tree with slings where you will find a bolted anchor out right. Rappel from here to the top of pitch one, then to the ground.

Location

Up left from the toe of the cliff.

Protection

Pro to 3".
