Description:

A fun, hard climb for its grade with an ugly start / belay ledge! Scramble up the dirt trail to a ledge. The belayer should be anchored in case of fall! Climb the dark grey dyke but dont let it suck you in. Get out and to the right as soon as possible. Follow bolts on fairly good holds to the chains! NOTE: You end up rappelling to the far left of part of the climb and it was difficult to retreive the draws so I would reccomend having someone second this climb rather than tope rope it! Also when we pulled our rope it got hung up on a little flake to the left of the chains about 6-8 meters up and we had to do a sketchy rope rescue so I would reccomend pulling the rope to the right so it falls away from this flake!
