Description:

From Amphitheater or camping circle go straight until you reach the wall. It will be towards the right (not the wall with plastic holds), but the other wall to the right. Go past the first obvious finger crack going all the way up to anchors. Past the less obvious rail going up to a tree and start a little further right where the wall stops being blank. Start hold on the rail at your chest level. Use small foot holds to make a strong move up to the next rail which you can sink your whole hand into. Continue traversing right, all the way until you reach right before the corner then climb up and top out. Don't use corner to finish route as this lessens the grade. Don't use any hand holds at the top of this rock along traverse as this lessens the grade. Have fun. Nice long traverse with one real hard move, three semi hard moves and some easy no hand foot work.

Descent Options:

Set crash pad at the base of where you will finish to top out. If placed correctly should be just to the right of a fallen tree leaning up towards the wall. Easy to jump down with pad there. (Alt) Walk around the trail.
