Description
Easily protectable crack system on the left of the wall, just right of the arête. Clamber up a short, dirty gully to access the route. Watch for loose and rotten rock. Crux is about half way up in open book feature, but there's a great crack in the middle of the "book." You can easily top-out right near parking lot. There are now bolted anchors at the top, which should be used for lowering or rappelling. The top of the cliff in this area is now fenced off to prevent access from the hiking trail. There is absolutely no access to this climb from the top of the cliff, and no topping out and walking off. Park officials support new route development in this area only as long as the climbing community observes the cliff top closure.
Location
Starts on the ledge above the trail in briars. One of the last routes in the Ground Up area (next to parking lot area).
Protection
A set of cams works great. Protecting the belay is recommended at either top or bottom. No bolts, except for the bolted anchors at the top. Lower or rappel from anchors. Do not top out or walk off.
