Description
This route is an old fashion Rattlesnake Snake classic. Climb the rock out crop to belay at the large pine tree 40 ft. or take 'Beat the Heat' to the pine tree. Take dike groove until up left is a steep wall. Climb the wall crux and traverse right. DO NOT go up to the ledge above with stacked blocks. Going Right ends with a Step off to slope to bulge to the chimney of the dike. Exit dike after 10 ft crux to go out of its on left side. A steep bulge to ledge above is exposed face until the quartz finger pockets (crux). Belay above right off oak tree and its a long pitch. Final pitch is optional. It goes up left to the pine tree up to chocks stones to the lichen covered wall. A hand and foot rock cams into the very exposed wall. Its a very important rock for the 5.3 crux. Wall ends at large pine tree or higher up at the birch tree. Getting down shouldn't be by rappelling this route. Bushwhacking up to the Crows Nest trail is okay or down climb the rope ladder to 'Giant Man' start is dangerously here by the ratty rope. Its not easy to rappel it.
Location
