Description:
This cliff faces Lower Ledge Springs Trail, with a pine tree hugging the cliff at left and Goldilocks turned back from the right end. Rock is many thin quartzy layers that do not offer more cling grip than pinch, some juggy ledges, but no solid resting places: you do it all the way to the upper ledge--if you picked a good line. For that, it's scarier than it may look.

Looks can be decieving
Yeah, it looks like easy climbing, but then you relize you really have to hold on the whole climb to the ledge. Fun stuff though.

talk about "pumpy"
Although I've done this previously, this time it was only one time, because I was whupped. I took the same line as the Swiss alpinist, and he did not run up it either. Thin grips and poor feet with a bit of backslope and no resting, whew, that's all the 5.7 I can manage.
