Description

Exciting start + worthwhile finish. Perhaps best to think of it as a 45 ft climb in two parts separated by a slab.

Start at gully 8 ft right of 1.5-ft-thick tree. Angle up right to straight-up overhanging crack. Up this, then up slab trending right (across another route) toward weakness / crack system about twenty feet from obvious left-facing inside corner in upper half of cliff, passing left end of overhand about 2/3 of the way up. Finish up through that weakness through top overhang.

warning: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber or someone setting up top anchor.

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2018. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).
