Description
A nice direct line up a clean face to the start of Sea of Green's beautiful lower crack and protection. If you follow the white rock scoop and then traverse right to Sea of Green's crack it's 5.9. If you climb to the right through more featured rock it's a bit easier. It seemed like a more esthetic start compared to the regular gully start to Sea of Green.
An alert spotter is recommended until you reach the crack in about 35'.
Location
From the bottom of the North Descent Gully walk approx. 75' west, passing the first slab. Start at the base of a clean face 15' or so left of Sea of Green's left-facing corner and 20' right of Steve's Twilight.
2021 Note- The pine tree has blown over. This climb starts just a few feet left of the tree’s upended root system. R Hall NH Admin.
