This route is on the right side of the upper tier, below the fenced overlook. There are currently two bolted lines in this area and this is the one to the left. It starts in fairly easy rock up through some flakes and fractured rock. The last move to the rings can be done by climbing straight up past the last bolt, or by traversing left at the last bolt to access an easier last move. However, you might find the traverse to be worse than just climbing straight up to the anchors. When we were climbing this on trad gear, we would top out by making the traverse or by angling up to the right in order to access the top.

I can't remember the exact date we bolted the route but it was purposely left off of here to keep people off of it. There was a loose block that was shaped in such a way that it would not come out from the wall. Rather than mess with it any more and risk damaging the route, the rock was bolted in place with a long anchor. Some may feel that the second bolt is a bit runout from the first, but there was no decent rock in which to install an additional bolt. The climbing is solid enough to not really need another bolt. Other than the finish, this route has changed very little over the years. Keep in mind that we climbed this on trad gear. The route is now sport only.

This is on the far right side of the upper tier. It can be accessed from the right side but we prefer that it is accessed from the left side, as one would do to set up a toprope on the lower tier. Around February of every year, buzzards nest in the rocks on the right hand side and the park would prefer that the birds be left alone. Do

not

throw rocks at the buzzards to scare them off. Of the two routes in this area, this is the one to the left. Please do not attempt to set up a toprope from above.

Five bolts and ring anchors at the top.
