Description

With it's easy approach, fun moves and varied climbing it's easy to see why this route is so popular.

Located on the left-most section of The Wall, a little before the northern apex of the front loop in Hidden Valley Campground.

The crack is enjoyable throughout it's entire length, with stemming, jamming and combinations of the two techniques all played out on good rock.

Gear belay and a somewhat circuitous but easy downclimb off the slabby backside. Hint: once down to the desert floor, head left and then follow a trail that will circle back towards the base of the climb. Three stars out of five.

Protection

Gear to 3 inches
