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 

This seldom done route of Bruce's is one of his best.

Boulder up to that 1st high bolt and a small foot hold. Crimp and high step past another bolt to a pondering stance and some relief. Climb up to a sloping pod and another stance. Move up, clip a third bolt and make precise and delicate smears(12a) until you are well above that last bolt and standing on a small sloping ledge. Calm down and climb up and left to a bolted anchor at 95 feet.

Location 

Starts just right of Plastic Fish

Protection 

3 bolts, possible yellow or blue BD cam in the sloping pod

EDIT-

At one time both Plastic Fish and Krispy Kreme topped out on a ledge with a pine tree. The pine came down sometime around 2004. The new anchor was placed at the same time KK got rebolted.
