Description:
A good intro to Joe Herbst routes: P1 climb up an easy face to a ledge and belay from the cave-like formation next to a bush. P2 climb the corner and pull the roof. Follow the corner to the top. From the top, clip the bolt, then downclimb to the belay ledge with two bolts. Rappel once with two ropes.

Interesting
P1-me
P2-Doug. Crux right off the belay--Challenging layback while smearing on varnished rock. Rock quality seemed to diminish the closer you got to the top of the climb.

Good
Good climbing. Wish the line was more sustained, but a great intro to the grade.

Interesting
Good sustained moves laying back on the desert varnish out of the roof, a .4 is nice to have here. The climbing after that corner has some rock that add adventure to the climb, be prepared to run it a little.
