Description:

For more information, support the park and buy the guidebook by Stewart Green. A really high first clip that you need to make some spicy moves on to reach. The landing would be terrible so make sure your belayer gives you a good spot. I mesed up and climbed to the right of the bolts using the corner and it was WAY harder than .10A. Chris did it right and went to the left and like your supposed to and said while hard it was rated pretty accurately. The second half of the route is junk, and in that vein it there is a bolt at the end of the good stuff with no hanger. I'd like to get a hanger and some rap rings to give people the ability to rap from the top of the first slab. The 5.7 section is junk rock with a ton of rope drag and the route would be killer without the second part. Also I was lowered off with a 60 meter rope and it left me about 15 feet short. Chris had to climb up about 10 feet for me to hit a ledge. And the rap off BARELY makes it down with a 60. Knot your ends and another reason why it would be a better route without the second part.
