Pretty simple climb, following straight up.

A good standing ledge about 1/3 the way up is a great spot for beginners to practice getting belayed down.

The rock can be a bit chossy, but with all the use, this route is pretty clean.

Can go the LONG way around to set toprope or use the trail to the left, through the bushes and stay left to a small scramble to the top. Not the easiest but a lot shorter than going all the way down and around along the road to the main trail up.

Top rope only!

Two start options:

1) Straight up, tackling an overhang rated at 5.10, then continuing up the rest of the route with ease.

2) Start to the right, skirting around the roof keeping it all a 5.6 and coming back to center above the overhang and continue up.

2 stars for the fun crux at the start. 1 star otherwise.

More or less straight up. Not as much smooth rock as the other 2 on this wall. A lot has splintered out over the thousands of years since the glaciers carved this face.

A small roof about 2/3 the way up adds some fun to an otherwise simple route. You can also go left around this crux if desired.

2 stars for the crux - 1 without
