Description:
This follows a crack with some face moves. There is a bolt about 2/3 of the way up. If anchoring at mid-ledge, as most people do, save the bigger cams, or have extra long slings to girth hitch the big boulder. Walk off across that ledge to climber's left and then down the easier (further left) of two gullies, touching down onto terra firma at the edge of the parking area. A rarely done second pitch goes up a chimney all the way to the top, at 5.9 or so, and requires bigger gear.Descent Options:
Walk off.

ok crack line, nothing too special, best direct access to La Reina which is the best, albeit short, route on this entire wall
