Description:
This is everybody's first toproped climb. A large right facing crack. Avoid the temptation to jam yourself into it. The book calls it 5.4. But feels more like 5.5 to me.

Don't do it in summer
Yea during the summer this face is unbelievably hot...even at 9 in the morning. Other than the rock being quite toasty it is an easy enough climbs, could one to start on. Avoid jamming yourself in the crack as tempting as it is to get out of the sun. Rated 5.4 but feels more like 5.5/6

Fun climb!
This is one of my fav places to warm-up, if you get to it when it's unoccupied! I concentrate on staying as far from the crack as possible traversing often. Much fun!
