It has half a dozen or so sport routes, but was burnt pretty badly in 2006. The rock is covered in charcoal now instead of lichen, but there are actually some solid sections in between the chossy layers. To get there walk up one of the fire trails on the ridges either to the left or right, and then across to the top of the cliff. Walking up from below is awful. Details of the routes, or who put them up, are not available.
