Description

Start easy + fun, then gets thin + thoughtful, with exit obstructed my branches.

Start under small bush at top with branch hanging down onto wall.

Up thinner crack (just right of wider crack) to finish just left of branch hanging down.

Traversing to other top anchors: To the Left of the top anchor is a facultative bolt for aid and/or protection for reaching the top anchor of the route "Central Grooves".

warning

: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.
