Description
This is an excellent route on quality rock protected by a mixture of bolts and good gear. Start by scrambling up some easy 3rd/4th class terrain to the base of the true climb (belayer can belay from up here if desired). Climb a tricky, powerful, bolt-protected boulder problem (~4 bolts, crux) to a jug. From the jug, head right on a great finger crack that starts as a horizontal and then curves to vertical. Protects well with finger-sized gear (1-2 each of black, blue, and yellow totems, or BD up to 0.5). Finish off with a full-value mantle onto a ledge using cool xenolith knobs to reach the chains.
Location
~15-20 minutes up Elderberry Canyon from the parking. There is a decent trail. Right side of the canyon when hiking up - most easily identified by the arching finger crack on the second half of the route.
Protection
4 bolts, 1-2 each of finger-sized gear up to 0.5 BD or yellow totem. Lower off. 60m rope sufficient.
