Williamson Rock is under a temporary closure to all recreational uses, including climbing, pursuant to a ruling by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that the area is critical habitat for the endangered yellow-legged mountain frog. Efforts by the non-profit organization Friends of Williamson Rock, in conjunction with the U.S. Forest Service, are underway to regain climbing access to Williamson. For information on the status of these efforts, and to learn how you can help, contact the Friends of Williamson Rock: http://williamsonrock.org
Strange As Angels (5.11c/d), Williamson Rock.
Description
This fun, but often overlooked line is between Furry Pump (5.12a) on the left and The Labyrinth (5.11c) on the right.
Starts with a steep, technical section down low to interesting moves higher as you work your way over overlaps and past huge lieback flakes to the anchors. A little harder than Labyrinth but less sustained, with three possible no-hands stems if your flexibility is decent. This climb and Furry Pump should be extended, as they both stop short of the clifftop.
