easy, short, fun. 20 or 25 ft.

skipped the second pitch - lichen forest. there is a 2 nut anchor they aren't fixed, but are good for a rap but back it up for a TR.

Made this a two pitch climb due to rope drag. At the top of the keyhole "buttress" I went around the left side of the buttress and up a wet offwidth to an awkward though easy second pitch. A traverse to the left and up a gullly can be done but a leap of faith is required.
