1 out of 5 stars Pony Express

This route is soft by Jtree standards. Climb up the well featured face pass two bolts to a right slanting crack. Follow it up to a fixed station half way up the wall. This route is not sustained nor interesting and thus does not deserve a star in my opinion although granted one in Miramontes book. I did take it all the way to the top of the formation hitting a corner up and left that never gets climbed much....that offered a decent short bit of climbing. With Stacy.
