Description

This is a high quality slab route on great rock. It has three pitches: 5.8, 5.9, and 5.7. The bolts are fairly easy to spot - the biggest danger is heading for a bolt on a nearby (harder) route by mistake. This climb gets morning sun, and then goes into the shade in mid-afternoon.

The descent is easy - just walk to the right until you can scramble down and back along the base of the rock or rappel and down-climb Bye Gully.

Protection

Almost all bolts but small stoppers or a tiny cam can be placed in the flake on pitch 1, before the first bolt. After that, no other gear until the anchor at the top of the climb - tie off a tree or use a #1 or #2 cam to build an anchor left of tree in horizontal crack at top of 3rd.
