The Exodus

The route is slopey but fairly easy. Start on the ground behind the tree and follow the obvious hand crack up the slope and top out. Beware the hollow rock at the top marked with an "X" in the topo. The whole route was mossy and some of the footing was slippery so beware of a fall backwards into the tree. It was my first ever trad lead so I found that a lot of my gear wandered and it was a trek of Biblical proportions to get here. Hence the name.

When you reach Laceration keep following the wall to your right for another five to ten minutes. You'll pass a very large amphitheater on your left. You will see a thin crack above the route (pictured). Hike down to where the tree is growing at the bottom of the crack and rack up.

It takes large cams all the way up. The smallest that I used was a Black Diamond C4 #2 and the largest was a #4. I wish I had had a couple more #4s on my rack. An anchor can be established at the top using micro nuts (see image) and we threw a micro cam into the mix just for fun. Beware the hollow rock on your right marked with an "X" in the topo photo. It is also possible to walk off to the left of the route once finished.
