Description:
Follow the road down from the parking area. The 2nd jut of the wall towards the road, after the main trail branches right, has a small boulder at the bottom. The climb starts here, follows the obvious crack straight up. After 15 ft, a small knife ridge leads right, away from the crack. This is an easy way to the top. Or, follow the crack the remaining ten feet. Top out on a large, flat shelf with a small pine tree.Descent Options:
Walk off, to the right after topping out. Or, build an anchor on the cliff above the top of the climb in a good crack and repel down. Take the walk off back to the top to retrieve anchor.
