Accidentally found a GREAT climb!
Meant to climb one of the climbs to the left but got lost and found this. Fun climb but had to deal with a lot of bushes on the first 2 pitches. Pitches 3 and 4 were quiet and peaceful. There was some loose rock and I didn't trust any of the chicken head knobs. No fixed protection but large ledges to belay from and plenty of spots for gear.
