Welcome Mat

This is the leftmost route on the Welcome Wall. It begins in front of a big tree a little uphill of the other climbs.

My eval: there are 5.10 b/c moves 8 to 12 feet over the bolts, including one longish runout in the middle. Down low around the second bolt is a little tricky in groundfall potential. Up high, the falls are safe, but if you go, youre going to take a big ride. Just breath, there are good holds up there, and the hardest moves are nearer the bolts. The crux is moving off a sharp finger lock to a couple of small sidepulls after doing the runout section in the middle.

PG-13 would be a good warning. Not quite Serious.

There's a ton of lichen and moss on this thing, but most of the climb is out of it. It is still clean enough and scary enough to be a good climb. Just be careful down low around the 2nd bolt.

NOTE: Belay from down the ramp. Don't belay from under the tree. If the leader takes the 20-footer, you don't want to hit your head on the tree or get tangled up in it.

7 bolts to a two bolt anchor. The Falcon guidebook should say "sporty" or "old-school" bolting. PG-13
