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
Guilty Being White (5.11c), Williamson Rock.
Description
This superb route, who's name comes from a Minor Threat song, is located on the right side of the Waterfall Wall a short distance right of Valdez (5.10d) and just left of Splish Splash (5.12c/d) which climbs along the edge of a small concave area.
After negotiating the steep, bouldery start (stickclip the 1st bolt or boulder up and then climb back down) move out left to a restful stance before punching it past a difficult section around the third bolt (crux). Higher the angle relents, the holds improve and it's a cruise to the anchors.
This route was extended a number of years back, which gave even more climbing to this fun climb.
