Description
Pitch 1 (100'): 2 bolt face to a right facing dihedral. Follow dihedral up to a small roof. Pull the roof and continue up crack and belay from a nice ledge with a tree (2 bolts w/chains). Pitch 2 (~150'): Face climb to top. 4 bolts. Run-out between 1st and 2nd bolt and from 4th to top, but relatively easy climbing.
There are now two glue in bolts w/rappel rings at the top of the route. Double rope rappel (60m ropes) back to the ledge. A second (100') rap will put you back at the base of the route.
Location
Starts behind some boulders left of Hanging Gardens, below the obvious right facing dihedral and roof (can be seen from approach trail).
Protection
First pitch - protects well above the face in the dihedral, roof, and crack above the roof (small to medium nuts or cams). Second pitch - one could protect the run-out above the 4th bolt with #4 cam, but the climbing eases significantly here.
