Description:

This phenomenal climb is the first route (furthest left) you encounter just as the trail runs into the cliff. Begins with easygoing climbing to a fun overhang at the fourth bolt. The line continues through nice holds and pockets to steepening rock and hidden holds. Gain the roof with solid moves, and pass the last few feet to the anchor on blank rock. Use a long draw on second bolt.

Descent Options:

Only the left bolt at the anchor has a rap ring. Bring a knife to cut away old webbing on the right bolt (if any), and replace with a piece of your own webbing you know is safe.
