West Wall: Broken Rib

Short challenging sequence with abrasive holds.

Start up broken face about halfway between 1-to-2-ft-deep Right-facing inside corner and base of wide ramp going up (long) diagonal left. Next walk gentle across wide ramp to reach upper wall a bit left of 1-to-2-ft-deep Left-facing inside corner. Above left from that corner is a vertical rib a few inches wide and few inches thick. Touch that rib, and up it to reach left-trending diagonal crack, and finish over that to gentle slab.

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 2019. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).
