Description:

First pitch starts at the foot of the buttress and climbs to a large ledge, the Crows Nest -- many variations. 2nd pitch moves to the right end of the ledge and follows a corner crack system to the top of the buttress. Outstanding climb for its grade and very popular.

2 out of 5 stars Really Lame Climb

I don't care if this is supposed to be classic, it's classically worthless. Zoo View is much better.

5 out of 5 stars Casual romp up the mountain.

Finally got a chance to lead this thing. It's such an excellent climb, really casual and laid back. It was a great feeling knowing that I had been in school no more than 2 hours before I was starting up the first pitch. An awesome way to spend the afternoon.
