Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description A short route with a short approach. A bit harder than the 5.6 grade given by nation-wide standards, but maybe accurate locally. The climb goes from a scrambling to stemming with good locks and jams, then back to jugs at the top.
Location From the down-walk from the rim, come back perhaps 20 meters back toward the rim overlook. The first solid-looking set of cracks is the climb, and is the closest route to the down-climb.
Protection A single set of stoppers and cams from 1" to 3". Setting an anchor up top will take some ingenuity and judgement.

| There were a few wasps floating around the crack last weekend, so check it out before you start off of the first ledge.
Also there are 2 stuck cams deep in the main crack, but both look like they've been there for a long time and I'd be careful trusting the slings on them.
On another note, this was my first trad lead and now I'm 100% addicted. woohoo |

| For the anchor we decided to use the tree thats about 35 feet back from the top of the route. Works great and is really safe for belaying a second but obviously no good for a TR setup. |

| There's a tree far back from the ledge and an embedded bolder at the top. Easy to protect and fun. My first trad lead, too. |

| Definitely a fun climb. This was only my second trad lead so it felt a little hard to me. I would recommend doing it. |

| If you scrable up just to the right of Griffo about 20ft there will be a small square ledge on a pedestal with some Graffitti on the wall.
In this corner is some nice Off-width climbing that takes a four pretty well. You climb this corner for about 20-30 feet and then traverse back left to Griffo. Its good fun, fist jams, or for my little hands elbows.
If I had to guess at the rating maybe 5.8?
I dont know why it isnt posted on Mountain project. I will look at the Cheap Way to Fly book to see if its listed there.
-Enjoy |
