Description:

Start on the large block area up and 20' right of Washboard. Head up any number of ways toward the obvious tree (not Pine) about 100' up. 2nd pitch continues 140' to the top of the crag. This area is also known as Egg Wall and is concidered by some guide books as a 3rd/4th class down climb.

Descent Options:

Rap off slung chockstone to the right of the tree at the top of the 1st pitch (60m will reach if you throw the rope climbers right a little of where you just climbed.) or continue to top. From the top you can take the trail right to the top of Sentinel Bu

3 out of 5 stars easy but ledgy

Followed someone on one of their first leads. Like a light version of Washboard just to the climbers left. My main rap route for Washboard (make a short pitch 2 traverse to reach it and aim for the bigger tree). When rapping go way climber's right to make pulling your rope *much* easier. This is probably about 90 degrees from where you climb up the route. Easy and a good beginner route, you just want to be very careful not to fall as you'd bounce down.

4 out of 5 stars Looking for Rap

We climbed this route to find a better way to desend from Washboard. It was actually fun , a good 1st lead or 1st climb.
From the little pine at Washboard climb up and right about 40' towards the tree . More diagonal than up or traverse.
