Description:
A good beginner route with a fair amount of places to set pro. The anchors are a little far back, so you will get a lot of rope drag, if topropeing. Bring 3Ft slings for the anchors.

Fun climbs
This was a fun climb especially for those who are just starting out. You can set this up for just top rope, no lead climb necessary. I climbed up the back to set the top rope, I also used slings due to the fact that the bolts are set back which caused a lot of drag on the rope.

Perfect Location
We spent the weekend camping in the adjacent group site with family. Very good route for beginner / novice climbers to top rope. Due to lots of angle and slab at the bottom it is easiest to top rope using a 70 meter rope.

About 40% of the route is a very easy slab, the rest is very featured rock with a fun flake that takes gear the whole way.
