Description:

6 pitches, though 3&4 are easy to string together. 6th pitch (last) goes wandering off line to left at 5.7 or go straight up through 5.9 roof crux with loose top out (fun! really!). Top out for walk off is a sketchy traverse across choss to trees so make sure your last anchor is bomb proof - the guidebook warns you about it and this would be a good time to listen. (There's beta on the last station in the "climbed by" description.)

4 out of 5 stars Fun trad route

There are a bunch of pitons on this route which make it safer (if you trust old pitons of course). The first pitch is a nasty off-width chimney but it gets better afterwards. Rappel next to a small waterfall could be a lot of fun in a hot summer day, but it was not fun in cold October evening.
