Description:

Guppy begin from the right side of the belay pod at the end of the High Tyrol. Step right out of the pod and chase a left leaning dihedral for several bolts. When the holds and bolts allow, step right around the dihedral (crux) and follow steep, featured rock to the anchors. If you're careful when you pull the rope, it won't go in the creek. Great rock, great location, fun moves. Moderate sport climbs don't get much better!

Descent Options:

Lower or rap 35m back to the belay pod.
