BETA PHOTO: Looking up at the roof from the base of Frankincen...


Description 

Fun route easy beginning the crux is in the middle where it smooths out a little and the hands are up high and to the left. The roof is fun and offers just a little exposure. Perfect climb for beginners. Look out for the tree branches when you rap off.


Location 

Once down in the Lower Falls area look to your left (west) you will see a large oak tree. the climb is under the oak tree (think ALL day shade) The route follows the obvious crack to the roof in the middle of the formation. there is a bolted sport route just to the right (east)


Protection 

small nuts and cams (1/2" to 2") 2 bolts with rings at the top.

The name of this route is Frankincense and it was probably first done by Brandon Thau around 1996 or so. The Mother Rock Guide to Frustration Creek (1998) lists this route, so sorry no FA.
