Night Smoke

Opportunity to climb on a non-difficult arete. If only it were longer.

Up the arete to a gentle section. Then up into a short narrow gully but exit left before its top.

warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber - (and if possible, behind a large tree).

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

At the right edge of this Romance Novels sector, about thirty feet right up from the low point.

Trad: Standard rack.  Caution - the top of this route is very dirty and chossy, even by Powerlinez standards.

For ideas to set up Top-Rope, see the Description of this Romance Novels sector.
