Big Tree Left

Contrived line, but some interesting moves. Perhaps best to think of it as a 45 ft climb in two parts separated by a slab.

Start 4-5 left of 1.5-ft-thick tree against wall. Up over bulge to low roof, then horizontal left almost to notch. . . . (variation? Project : directly up left side of big tree ? rather strenuous).

Next straight up inside left-facing corner / crack about ten feet. See an indentation in top edge of the face above which forms the right side of the inside corner. This indentation is the end of a crack in the main wall facing south. Just below indentation, step around up right onto main face (1st crux). Next up slab aiming for notch about eight feet right from the left end of the overhanging bulge of the upper wall. Up through notch to top.

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).

Around the center of the cliff, 4-5 left of 1.5-ft-thick tree against wall, and a few right of gully/chimney.
