Liz leading Oak Tree Flake.


Description 

Begin at a large Black Oak with branches touching the cliff. Lieback wide crack to easier ground. The bolt anchor noted in the Supertopo guidebook is no more, so bring some smaller gear for an anchor, or continue up to the belay/rap tree for Grant's Crack.


Location 

Left and around the corner from Grant's Crack.


Protection 

One or two large cams, plus a few extra pieces.

Watch your head on the trees. Also, I found it was a difficult location to build an anchor.

Correction to the Supertopo: the bolt anchor indicated for Oak Tree Flake and Grant's Crack on Swan Slab (page 98) is gone. Instead, go ~20' higher to a small tree with webbing/rap rings.
