Description:

Climb the open-book groove off the pedastal 5m to the left of the cave. Move right through the bulge to follow the protection crack to the top. A truly pleasant climb, though good technique is helpful to keep this route from seeming more difficult than it is.

Descent Options:

Rap or walk off
