Introduction

Classic trade route. Suitable for first-timers and family-friendly with trained leadership.

Descent

• R1: 40 feet - Anchored from a large boulder about 20 feet back from the drop.
• Downclimb / R1.5: about 20 feet - This spot is downclimbale though there is often a rappel here anchored with a sling around a big boulder. Note on the other side of the big boulder is the "rabbit hole" which is a fairly easy downclimb. It can be dificult to judge from the top but once you get into it you can see it is not too difficult to downclimb.
• R2: 35 feet - Anchored from a chockstone.
