Pitch 2: 180' 5.10a This pitch has everything from good'ol red rock crimps to fist jams. Take the right splitter hand crack. At about three quarters of the way up begin to use the twin cracks. Make your way up and left to an anchor. Careful going to the anchor there is loose rock.
Descent: 2 double rope rappels
