Description:

Climb the Dihedral all the way on the left side of the wall. The trail with rock stairs leads to it. Stem and jam to two cold shuts. One of the better easy routes in the area. Watch out for large loose flake near bottom. 75' 11-29-03 I was there with a buddy a week back. The large loose flake is/was near the top. Thank you, whoever left the chalk warning. We were able to make the climb "safe" again by knocking down the 80-100lbs flake. It didn't take much. If someone had yarded on it they would have killed themselves and their belayer likely. We were down there just today and there is a very loose section of rock just about 20 feet up, we pulled the climb and my rope got stuck on the first ledge above the flake I had to solo up to unsnage it, as I was down climbing I grabed the flake and felt it pull back about an inch thankfully I did not commit to that section of rock. 7/24/05
