Access Issue: Williamson Rock is currently closed to climbing.
Details
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: williamsonrock.org Per the Access Fund's update, in 2017 the Forest Service hopes to begin an environmental study of the impact of allowing limited climbing to resume. In the meantime, the Forest Service supervisor has extended the closure until January, 2017.
Description
Climb easyish chossy-feeling rock past 2 bolts. Place a long draw or full-length runner on the 3rd bolt to reduce rope drag. Engaging 5.11 moves lead up an arete to an in-your-face bouldery crux at the last 4 bolts. Cop rests where you can, because the ending packs a punch.
The controversial 4-bolt extension, which increased the rating from soft 5.11d to stiff 5.12b, was added in 2001.

Location
