Description:

Oh my god!! Very serious 5.8 climbing with good runouts between bolts. Two ropes are required to descend this climb.
A climber died here in 2002. She took a whipper and hit her head. A helmet is a good idea,
  • .....'cause your melon is worth more that $50 and some funny looks from your friends.

    • Seems to have sprouted some more bolts. 11? bolts as of 8/25/04
