Description:
Look for an obvious crack that goes nearly all the way up. It's has some pretty wide sections and has a face climbing start on top of a small buttress. The top of the route is unprotectable and kind of runout to the chains. Suggest bringing shoes to walk down the backside unless you want to leave a rap sling. --- VALYGRL's edits: walk off, don't rap. "Runout" is maybe 15 feet of 5.2. RicardoL's edit: the guidebook shows 2 fixed piton -- after the first one, you'll also find a nut that has been hopelessly stuck, and the the 2nd piton has been replaced by a bolt. playouts1de's edit: That nut wasnt that hard to pull....and I thought it safer to pull the frayed nut as opposed to leaving it for future use/failure. Its on my rear view mirror if anyone wants to reclaim it ;) MattL edit: There is an easy rappel for this route - about 20 feet to the right there is a giant boulder above the ledge with 2 bolts and rap rings. A 60m rope just barely reaches the ground at the start of the climb. Top-roping this route can be tricky due to a bit of a swing - suggest using slings with the fixed pitons as directionals to top-rope. * I am the proud owner of so called "Stuck" nut. hahaDescent Options:
Rap from chains or walk off.

Easy, solid holds. An exciting full pitch climb. End of crack is barely runout with newer bolt at second piton. Don't walkoff, 60m rope rappels on bolts from nearby boulder at topout. Would climb it again!
