5.7 | ★★ Rated X
Not quite as interesting as the variations, the original zig-zagging line still serves up fantastic variety of climbing at an easier grade.
Chains at the right of the large ledge above the first pitch allow you to top-rope the first pitch as well as the interesting face climbing just right of the first pitch. If top-roping the first pitch, use the last bolt as a redirect. Resist any temptation to belay the second pitch from these chains. Instead, traverse left and build an anchor before starting the second pitch. Descend in two rappels. The lip of the roof can snag a rope, so be careful when pulling the rope after the first rappel.

5.7 | ★ Bookmark
This is a 2-pitch climb. You will need a 60 meter rope. The first pitch of this climb begins with an obvious crack heading up and slightly right. The crack breaks into two about 100 feet up, take the right crack. Shortly after the split, it becomes impossible to find gear placement, but don't worry, you run up this to an 8' wide by 30' long shelf which serves as your belay station. On the second pitch, located on the far left side (looking at the face) of the shelf, the climbing starts easy and turns into a not so pleasant offwidth crack that about half your body fits into. Although you can't place gear through this section, its a secure climb. Once past this, its a run-up to the top where you can belay off of a tree. | ||||
