Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

1. Climb for about 20-25 feet to a thin crack. Climb the face at this point (crux) then move straight up to the roof above; there is usually a fixed wire rappel station there. Go right about 8 feet or so to a large ledge and belay. 70 feet, 5.8.

2. Climb up to the large roof system, then traverse out left (crux) to the nose. Keep going left to a two piton rappel station. 80 feet, 5.6. 100 foot rappel.

Intricate face climbing on the first pitch, fun climbing and great exposure on the second.

Location 

Follow the trail from the right side of the Boxcar boulder. This meets the cliff near The Spring (P1), a large, well-chalked, inside corner that usually has a small pool at its base.

Lady's Lament is about 90 left of this point, 10 feet right of the start of The Nose - a large corner, capped by a roof, with a crack in the back. Look for a small, right-facing corner about 10 feet up and the thin crack in the face.
