Description:

Very crumbly. Most of the climb is basically a bolt ladder but very low angle after the first 4 bolts so I wouldn't recommend it to practice aid on, though you could. You have to climb through tree branches about a third of the way up so be sure to throw your rope clear of it when preparing to rappel.

Descent Options:

Rappel or continue up another route. There are no chains or permanent rap rings so bring your own webbing to make a rap anchor.

2 out of 5 stars crumbly- beware

Followed harmonydoc up this but it really isn't fun because of the poor rock quality and the tree branches in the way.
