Description:
Starts left of Granola. P1 (5.7+) is a nice crack that eats up pro. Easier moves up high after initial crux section to the entrance of a chimney with a two-bolt anchor with rap rings. P2 (5.7) is a fun chimney (crux) that transitions to a featured (easy) upper face to a rappel station with webbing/rings.Optional P3 (5.8/5.10b/c?) goes straight up through a roof. Hand crack leads to roof and good pro. From there, two variations: left takes you through a layback flake (5.10b/c?); right steps around the arete onto small feet (5.8?). Easy climbing up to tree ledge.
Descent Options:
Double-rope rappel from fixed pro and piton (P2) skipping the first belay station. Trying to stop at the first station can result in getting your rope caught in a flake on P2.

froot loops again!
Just as fun as last time- Sammy led p1 and I led p2 this time. p2 was longer than I remembered it being but it was so much fun! Definitely one of my favorite routes.

awesome climb!
I've been wanting to do this climb for awhile. It was sweet! Led the first pitch and Sammy led the second. The second was awesome- definitely worth it and a great chimney to do b/c there is actually good pro inside it.
