Description
This is a short and easy route below a couple of bolts. Mostly big ledges to grab and step onto. I made it a bit more challenging by avoiding easy stuff, but then you’re grabbing iffier holds. Watch out as some of the rock breaks off - I punched myself pretty hard when one came off. Wear helmets for sure, and use belay glasses if possible (or sunglasses at least if the belayer must look up). No dangerous-sized rocks came off.
Not sure who established the route or what its true name is.
Location
On the east side of the rock (shaded most of the day). The flat mostly continuous face with some obvious features in it. The easiest way to find it is to scramble up the backside nearby up to the first ledge (not to the peak) and then walk along the cliff until you see two obvious bolts.
Protection
2 bolts. Bring cordelette or slings to extend anchor over the edge
