Rated D5+ or 5.11+. This was established as a Dry Tooling route where those of the alpine persuasion can practice the Dark Arts of scratching up rock using ice tools and crampons. Climbing shoes weather permitting make for a fun outing as well. Bolted. Mental crux is clipping 3rd bolt. Upper section involves wild steeming and creative torquing. Rap anchors installed.

This route is actually really cool, requiring a handful of different skills, totally worth visiting on your way back to the car.  Funky, smeary, balancy, and then powerful, sustained, and sequential.  Crux hits at about the 3rd bolt (where most people stray a bit from the bolt line)with a (at first) perplexing sequence to and through a set of positive pockets.  A big move to a great hold, or more controlled moves with awful feet bring you to the arete where fun slaps and more pockets bring you to the chains.  Stays difficult till the clipping JUG!

Small wall right near the last parking lot before the roundabout.  Hosting one lonely 5.12 sport route.  only about a minute from the parking lot so go do it!!
