Description
This is a good route with an exciting, bolt protected, move over an overhang about halfway up. The rest of the route is gear protected, and you then build your own belay anchor. Rappel off the Rocky Road anchor or walk off to the north then east into the Descent Gulley.
Location
Locate the large oak tree at the base of Rocky Road. Look halfway up the wall, about 30 feet right of Rocky Road, and identify the crux overhang with a nice, new bolt. There are several ways to get up to the crux, bolted overhang move. Choose the way that looks best to you; surmount the exciting crux; and continue up the vertical crack to a suitable belay location.
