Description

This is an excellent 5.5 route. P1 is a popular top rope so get there early.

Pitch 2: Climb the face and ledge to GT Ledge. (80', 5.2)

Pitch 3: Walk right about twenty feet to a tree. Start climbing face towards right facing corner. Move up and left over the roof (crux). Continue up the face, go up right facing corner to a big block of rock and cedar tree. (80', 5.5)
