Description

Fun moves on interesting features.

Start at obvious left-facing inside corner about 13-15 ft uphill right from the corner arete. Up the low corner, then up the mid-way corner with crack (crux), and finish left of the upper corner with crack to finish a bit right of the jagged gnarly tree at top.

. . . Variation start: Start down left and around the corner -- up a right-trending ramp about 10 ft left of the right end of the sector Kovalcik. Up the ramp, then move Right to the obvious left-facing inside corner to rejoin main route.

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).

Location

Start at obvious left-facing inside corner about 13-15 ft uphill right from the corner arete.

Protection

Lead: standard Trad rack, perhaps with a long sling for the midway tree. Spacing of protection fairly typical for climbs like this, some leaders might say it's well-protected . . . but if the Leader falls on the midway crux, good bet to hit the ledge below and likely would get hurt --- (as on many other non-difficult less-than-vertical routes).

Top-Rope: For ideas how to set up anchor for Top-Roping, see Description page for this sector Walsh.
