Protection is straightforward, relying on cams up to three inches, which find solid placements along the clean crack. The quality of the rock often feels rugged but reliable, with a texture that rewards careful hand and finger jams.

The route’s location offers refreshing shade in the afternoon, making it an ideal stop during warmer months when sun exposure can be relentless at other nearby walls.
