Description:

Climb a short left facing corner formed by blocks. A long crux traverse right gains a ledge-be careful to protect your second on this one. Continue past some corner system to a ledge with a tree. Two easier pitches wander through weaknesses past the GT ledge to the top. Not a good climb unless you are solid on 5.5 - the traverse is a little hard to protect for both the leader and the second. You can avoid the traverse if you walk up the hill and start at the corner of Bloody Bush. Climb the corner and this will put you at the end of the first pitch, start of the second.

4 out of 5 stars Always fun

It was super wet today, this climb was dry. Woo hoo. Great lead for a new leader. You can bypass the traverse by starting way to the left, up the hill. Solid 5.3 climbing all the way. Great gear.
