Description:

10 ft. right of Just in Case. Look for the bolt on the face below the finger crack. Surprisingly entertaining moves past the bolt and first part of the crack lead to much easier climbing higher. We did the descent as Swain suggests. It does look hairy but it's not too bad once you start down.

4 out of 5 stars fun little climb

pass the bolt and follow the crack up and left to about the bush, then veer up and right, over/around the shelf and continue up to the bolts/rings. use long runners accordingly. from here either set a directional (small nut above the roof) for others to TR the 5.7, or directly TR the 5.8/9 directly below. the slings others had used as an anchor below the shelf looked dicey to me.

4 out of 5 stars .

Fun route. Follow the crack most of the way up. Guidebook says it's 40 feet but it's really more like 60 feet
