Description:
Like the book says - Dirty, Vegetated and lichen covered - a good route to pratice pro/anchor placements. There is one bolt at the belay station 20' below the top of the "single pitch" route - build an anchor here and climb a second pitch straight south - likely 5.5 instead of finishing the pitch and doing the class 4 scramble to the summits knife edge for the down climb and skee field walk off around the west side of the buttress.

Confidence builder after 5.10 defeat
Wasted my energy on a 5.10 (still out of my ability) so I lead this one to feel a sense of accomplishment, even though it's easy. Came back a week later during the night and lead it again as a warm-up for my first night lead.

Good gear practice
Great for practicing gear placements of all sizes, including many opportunities for textbook placement of passive pro. Vegetation doesn't present a problem.
