Description:
Starts on boltline in obvious left facing dihedral, climbs right face of dihedral and then around the arete onto primary clifline. NRG classic. Likely the most classic moderate climb in the Gorge. A must do for aspiring climbers. Mellow climbing, plenty of bolts, and a good airy finish. Be careful the bolt count is wrong in some of the books, but at least TWO!
