Description:
One of the Eklutna Canyon testpieces, and close to the car to boot! The bank that this seep runs out of is constantly eroding, so the climb changes every year. This is the first climb on the right as you enter the canyon, and usually consists of thin, steep curtains and pillars to an overhang. Rappell from the trees.Descent Options:
Descend into the canyon. The climb is on the south side of the canyon after about a ten minute hike.

Unique Climb . . . Easy to TR . . . Often Busy
The closest climb to the parking lot at Eklutna. My partner and I often TR'd this climb during our first season. A couple mixed moves near the begining in most conditions . . . once through this crux it's pretty cruiser.
