Description:

As the approach trail meets the wall, walk left of the blunt arete a few feet to locate this line on a less than vertical face. Climb through large holds, angling right to the anchors. Chossy and dirty, but everyone does it.

3 out of 5 stars Starter Climb

After spending the summer with a bunch of annoying people who flash everything, I felt slow and unaccomplished and inferior. Then I went and did a climb like this with a group of beginners and saw firsthand how NOT everyone can rock climb, and thought about how far I've progressed, and felt awesome again.

2 out of 5 stars Everyone does it,

...and so did I. Did not bother to clip the chains and do a toprope transfer, down-climbed and cleaned on lead. My first-ever 5.5!
