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.

5 out of 5 stars great climb

Did the traverse in and bett lead the rest. While pitch 2 and 3 are great for new leaders, be sure you tell them where to go. Bett got lost today...ended up with horrible rope drag.
