BETA PHOTO: a nice looking corner...


Description 

I like to say something nice about every route i climb, and i always can... A nice thing to say about this climb would be something like "Has great potential" or "protects well... until the lichen covered 20 foot run out to the top"... I like adventure so i am glad i climbed it but unless you dont mind bad quality dirty rock with some run out you might climb something else...

Climb the really sweet looking corner avoiding the fragile pieces inside the crack... Jam and layback past a cruxy mini roof to a nice stance... Pick your way through the sea of lichen on a low angle face to an anchor on a ledge by a birch tree... When i did it the anchor was nasty so i rapped off the tree...

It really has some nice climbing and maybe just needs some cleaning...


Location 

in the middle of the cliff look for a nice looking left facing corner...


Protection 

Finger to hand sized cams and a few nuts to a ratty 2 bolt anchor that just needs new webbing...
