Description

As you head up the Redgarden trail towards the Kloof Alcove turnoff (so below the lower ramp), you walk up 7 railroad tie stairs. About 40 feet up and right towards the wall is a ~10 foot tree at the base of a short one-move wonder dihedral. Move up this dihedral, and then carefully follow the rotten band up and left about 50 feet, before turning the roof in the first available place, into a right-facing dihedral. Scramble up this with some nice finger locks, and then again continue along the ridge another 20 feet to a rappel station and belay.

Pitch 2 goes up the large, left-facing dihedral above your head. Watch for loose blocks, the climber AND the belayer. Finish at a tree at the end of the face, which leaves you on the lower ramp.

Standard rack.
