2013 Closures MORE INFO >>> Big Lost Cove Cliffs are closed to climbing due to the local falcon population This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Much better and steeper than it appears from the ground. Easy yet runout slab leads up to the steep mid-section where protection is not obvious but good. Move up on good finger buckets and a nice tcu crack then aim up and left (crux) and crank up on to a ledge. Traverse left to begin climbing an excellent right facing corner system that take you to the top. Rap from a beautiful large cedar.

Location 

Starts on the left end of a slab down and right from the first/second base routes. Cross to the left side of the often wet gulley/chimney before reaching the steeper wall. The good stuff stays dry and well left of the wet chimney.

Protection 

Double set of cams tiny to hand size and a set of stoppers, long runs especially for the anchor tree.
