Description
From Church Bowl Tree, follow a trail along the base of the wall past a couple recently fallen trees for about 200' to a large flat area at the base of the climb. Trees obscure most of the route from the ground. (The pitch is a full 170' - so be sure and bring a 60m rope). Moderate crack climbing leads to a difficult wider section above. Both cracks can be used to lessen the difficulties at the crux. Easily the best one-pitch 5.8 crack in the Valley. (Rap from the bolt station with a 60m and a 50m tag line).
