Pretty cool little multi. We were there because half on the other multis were either on fire of closed for fires. Decided to skip the third pitch as the wind was almost blowing us off at the top of the second. Oh well. Fun to have a little rappell.

Our first multipitch. Short and sweet but incredibly worth it. The third pitch was kind of scary and by scary I mean I was nervous clipping the overhanging crevice but I did it! And it was awesome! I should have more faith in my strength and competent body positioning. Another section involved a traverse along the lip - hang low, feet either flagging down below or high up by your hips before moving up. And another sweet section was to kind of Monkey bar around and up and arete before finishing up on some jugs. So much fun!!!! I had not climbed anything like it before

Better to rap in and top out, pretty rough rope drag getting lowered back to the top of pitch two. Was a group of two and only I topped the third pitch. Awesome climb though. Don’t hesitate and power through the lower crux. Save some for the second but easier upper crux, nothing compared to the first.
|
|||||||
18 | ★★ Honey Rider | 60m | ★ Good | ||||
Would recommend stick clip for the first bolt. First 2 clips is the hardest of the whole climb. Third pitch is good for the grade and enjoyable!
