Description:

Start at the lowest point of the left hand side of the amphitheater. Climb a short chimney to a face. Stay left and make your way up a steep face which from the ground looks scary but is loaded with horizontal cracks. At the top of this steep section is a notch conveniently placed for your exit. Bring two ropes for the rap or walk off (can rap with 1 60 meter rope from the top of nuclear crayon/quaker state it just makes it). Highly reccommended.

3 out of 5 stars Need to Learn to Place Pro!

My friend Matt said he could place every single piece of gear he owns in this, but I ran out several sections due to my inexperience with trad lead. Practice makes perfect!

5 out of 5 stars Once Again

I'll probably climb this thing a hundred times, finding new placements and other ways up the wall. Let my partner lead it after I did, that seemed to help him with the exposure.

5 out of 5 stars First "real" trad climb.

Was what i call my first real trad climb. Heady start (I went right of the chimney, unprotected till about 20 feet), full rack to carry, long, good gear and fun.
