Description

This route is by no means particularly great, but if the crowds in the

Pony Express

area are to heavy, this one might be an OK filler. The route is one pitch long with a 60 meter rope, but be warned and be careful at the top as it has a TON of loose rock on the belay ledge, and the downclimb to the anchors of

Mesca-line

will have your balance in practice. Start the route about 30 yards to the right of

Mesca-line

at a large block and from there go up about 50 feet in dirty, lichenous rock to an obvious undercling. Move left through the underclingand straight up the crack to the belay ledge. There is also another variation that goes up a crack more to the left at I guess 5.8.

Protection

Standard rack: nuts and cams and a few long slings are helpful.
