The best guess is that the Clevenger-Rowell route ascends the orange line. This route looks easy enough and clean enough that Rowell and Clevenger could think they could start at 2pm and reach the top before dark.<br> <br> At least two parties have tried the blue line, thinking they were repeating That's a Sheer Cliff. In both instances, the parties bailed after three 5.9 pitches due to the heavily vegetated right-facing corner above.
