Description:

An awesome route for its grade. About 100 feet right of Roseland is a boulder pile. Scramble up this and climb a crack to some roofs, then head left to a ledge. Angle left up the face to a huge belay ledge below a huge corner. Climb this awesome exposed and overhanging corner to the top.

5 out of 5 stars Late afternoon climb for us

We got to the cliff at 5 and warmed up on Gelsa. It's always a fun climb. Note that the tree at the top of P1 is not usable for an anchor, it's half rotted away. The money pitch is really fun, but, I think it's hard to find abundant pro. Since the climbing is easy, I just run it out, placing pro when I can find it.
