Description:

This easy adventure route sees just about non-stop traffic throughout the summer. Follows the line of least resistance, starts in a cleft in the left side, about 150' up the trail, watch for rope drag and try not to get lost. To descend walk off by going up and left, following cairns to a steep loose trail. (bring your hiking shoes)

Ladybug and I started with the entry slab of Cocaine Connection, then merged onto R&D. We swung leads, me on pitch 1 & 3, her on pitch 2 & 4. She took the 5.7 crack variation on the 4th pitch.
