Access is always an issue here. MORE INFO >>> Please do not litter and observe all regulations. We had to fight to regain access at one time, and we don't want to lose the privilege again. Local ethics and refuge regulations are that no bolting is permitted unless expressly authorized by the park. Leave the hammer and nails at home, no fixed gear please. Everything will go clean. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Fun start and a strenuous climb til the resting position on the stuck rocks. The crux is the endurance to that point. The face climb to the tree has hidden feet gems. Scan for these and enjoy the simple face climb up to the tree. It was enjoyable to get that offwidth pump and then have a fun face climb when you are pumped and out of breath.

Location 

To the left of Frankly Scarlet, climb the offwidth corner. The start is obvious, and climb straight up to the tree above. Descent is left to the ledge, or straight through the tree.

Protection 

Top rope setup can be accessed by slinging the boulder, and then climbing down to sling two trees. eyeballing it, C4 #6 lower, then #5 higher is a probable fit as it becomes less flaring. Runout to the tree.
