Description:
One of the few face climbs in the area. The first few moves are the crux on this climb. Very balancy and technical. Be careful clipping that bolt. Climb straight up on some interesting rock. This 5.9 felt harder to me than any of the 5.10's I climbed that day. There is a potential second pitch to this but its very easy and the anchors at the top need to be replaced with something alittle more sturdy in my opinion. Do it if you want but it's not a pitch I would reccommend.

Top Rope ascent by:

Some balancy moves at the bottom, then it's easy sailing to the top. Only bad part is the flakes of rock that want to peel off the top of the climb. Makes it a little sketchy at the top.

NOT A CLIMB FOR KIDS
this climb is under rated.........The first moves clearly eliminate a 4 hold security thus making it a 5.10a. It is a fun climb because of proximity to the jagged quary walls
