Description:

Starts just to the left of Hookers Haven and takes the most direct line up the south face. Pitch 1: Climbs a well bolted steep face that traverses slightly to the left. Good pockets and crimps on high quality rock. Skip the first set of (hanging belay) anchors and continue up to the next set about 10ft higher for a good stance. Pitch 2: Climbs up good holds to a small flake. The angle backs off after the flake and larger holds and knobs appear. Some gear can be found as well as knob tie offs between bolts. Stop at the belay anchors at a good ledge. Pitch 3: Winds its way up somewhat slabby face with smaller holds and few cracks. Some pro can be found between bolts.

Descent Options:

Rap the route with a 60m rope. Watch the ends of your rope because a 60m will use intermediate anchors as it will fall short of the belay anchors.

4 out of 5 stars Nice and fun

The first pitch has the highest concentration of actual hard moves, second pitch has very few, and the third is cruiser. Runout areas are 5.6-5.8 tops. A must do at the loaf
