Description:

Classic climb with a great feeling of exposure for the region. Climb an open book off to the left of the boulder problem, Marty Broke It. Follow the open book left to a ceiling, traverse out left, and follow the crack to a ledge. Traverse the ledge left to a 2-bolt "leaning" belay. These bolts are 3/8" bomber SMC bolts and a fine. Back it up with a large cam in the horizontal crack above them, if you want. Great first pitch, with a definite sense of exposure and a nice belay. The second pitch is grungy with lots of loose rock. Rap off the chains.

Good route and well worth doing. Nice exposure, great views of the gorge.
