Description:

This climb is left of the right arete in the crack on the corner. Climb straight up along the crack to the roof and negotiate the roof.

The guidebook gives it two stars and says it's worth finding out. The climb is kind of a ladder that get's interesting and fun at the roof, but is probably fun as either a simple warm-up or beginning trad route.

4 out of 5 stars Short and Sweet

My first outdoor lead. Great place to learn, as your belayer sits in the shade of a tree.

3 out of 5 stars Fun toprope

Intimidating roof, but nice jugs and stemming makes it an easy 5.7. A classic!

4 out of 5 stars Fun crack and mini-roof

Fun, easy trad lead. While intimidating, the roof turns out to be easily surmounted.
