Description

If you enjoy moderate climbing on so-so rock through a few bushes, this is a route for you! Nothing so bad as to merit a bomb, but not worth ever doing again.

This climb is the next crack system left of the cirque of cracks, just a few meters past "

The Formula

" Locate that route and step left to the junky-looking system. Climb it to a tree and belay/rap as for

The Formula

.

I followed a partner up it and seem to recall some odd strenuous move that seemed out of place for 5.6, but nothing really bad. The pro looks fine from the ground and I don't recall my relatively novice partner having a hard time protecting it.

Maybe this could be viewed as the less desirable 'easy climb' to do while waiting in line for "

Duh Dihedral

."

Protection

A standard light rack.
