Description A great slabby route with some classic edges and a gorgeous view of Lake Lure. Wanders slightly, to keep things interesting.
P1- Climb direct (harder) or stem up a tree to a point at which you can step over to the wall. Pass 5 or 6 bolts and some small TCU placements. Cut directly left near the last two bolts and end at a rap anchor. 90', 5.10a/b.
P2- Climb straight up past two bolts. This pitch starts off steep and eases considerably. End at a rap anchor. 75', 5.10.
Location A few bolts supplemented by a handful of TCUS.
Protection Dead center of the Lakeview Wall. Look for the dead tree near the right side of a 15' ledge. Rap once with two ropes (165') or twice with a single.
Pitch 1

| The tree commonly stemmed to access the wall is ready to fall. Tried to use it yesterday (1-12-09) and it gave a loud crack before I even got high enough to reach the wall. My partner and I were able to easily sway the tree with one hand. If anyone is going out there, please be careful or bring a 20+ foot stick-clip. |

| The tree is all gone. A shoulder stand from a partner will also do the trick...as I found out. |

| Start from the right is 5.11R and the left most tree will most likely break by trying to aid it. There is a big stick for the stick clip. |

| It is quite reasonable to stem off of the smaller pine tree to the left to get started. It involoves an extra 5.10+ish move to gain the good holds, but the bolt is easily stick clipped if you're not up for the extra excitement. |

| Great climb, excellent position, and very well protected. I placed a red Metolius between bolts 2 and 3 on the first pitch. You could take TCUs from Orange down to Grey and probably place them all but there is no need... bolts do the job.
There are now TWO downed trees, and at least two more that will come down if people keep using them. I propose stick clipping the first bolt and trying to go direct or just aiding up to the first row of jugs. Killing trees is kinda dumb.
Using the right most start is most definitely NOT 5.11 but I will give you the R.
