Description:
A really long route, no anchors, you have to set up a top belay anchor to get your second up, then use double ropes to rap off.

Red Point ascent by:
Fun Long Climbing
Hits you hard at the beginning but then eases off after 60 ft. Not just a slab climb but also pulls a small roof. Unique moves with a great view! 70m rope and cord for anchors are a must! Don't forget to look out at the river gorge below once you get to the top!

Fool Effect
A fabulous climb! I got to do it as the sun set, yet was able to finish about 3 minutes before I would've needed a headlamp. Also it started raining in the middle of the climb. A good adventure and a highly recommended climb. Also, it was fun to stem off the tree for the first several moves!
