Very good easy arete climbing on solid rock. The crux is a short steep section near the top. All of
the 5 naked bolts are easy clips.

The carcass is long gone, but the long easy, laid back groove remains, 10 bolts. Exit right from
the top of the groove then up 10m of grass to a large boulder. A DBC belay is on the top of the
boulder. Best to walk off. Hard to beat for a long pleasant climb at a beginners grade.
