Description

Pitch 1 has fun 5.7 climbing through 4 bolts to anchor on flat pedestal. This pitch was established to draw the wife, girlfriend, or aspiring climber to the crag, 4 bolts plus anchors, 15 meters.

Pitch 2. Step across gully, and climb past three bolts traversing left into dihedral system. Continue following a bolt line up steep, right-facing corner system. About 25 feet up the corner, you will turn the lip to the left onto the face just below the conifer tree above. Turning the lip is tricky, and the face above is demanding. Reach your left foot over the lip, and lock your toe in. The rock is solid, so trust your feet, and go for it. Continue up to ledge system. Bring a sling and belay from tree and one bolt. Retreat: move 10 feet right along ledge to

Goofy Foot

anchors and rap. From the belay ledge, enjoy the excellent views of the Crystal River Valley and alpine climbing feel, 9 bolts plus anchors, 20 meters.
