Climbing is currently allowed in Last Chance Canyon. Continued access is everyones responsibility. MORE INFO >>>
After careful consideration and discussions with Access Fund representatives and members of the climbing community, posting Last Chance Canyon beta will now be allowed on Mountain Project. However, when climbing at Last Chance Canyon we must be considerate of the Forest Services’ current ban on bolting new routes, climbing, and trespassing within the Solstice and Hermit Caves. The concerns of the Forest Service include archeological resources and rare or endangered plant species in the area. Please, tread lightly, and approach the area with a sense of respect.
Access Fund representatives are currently working with the Forest Service in creating a Climbing Management Plan for the area. We can assist them in this process by acting responsibly as a user group. As a community of climbers, it is important that visiting and local climbers share the responsibility in conducting themselves in a way that reflects positively on our larger community. Please respect the requests and policies of the Forest Service in order to preserve our access to this area.
Matt Riles hooks it up on Michael Ontraverno's "So...
Description
Sunny corner you see during the approach to Breakfast Wall. A single line ascends the primary arete. More developement is possible here if the ban lifts.
Getting There
Downstream about 200 yards from the Beer Garden. You will pass if you follow the Breakfast Wall Approach.
There is currently only one route here. "Michael Ontraverno's White Noise" is the original name given by the FA, Mike Ontraverno. It mostly goes by the simple name White Noise. I am not sure how dedicated he is to his original title?
So strike M.O.'s name from the route name. So goes 2nd hand information. Now I remember what happend... that email corrected the spelling of his name, and identified the route as "White Noise", and I somehow linked them together. Sorry for another mixup.
I forgot... the route was originally called "The Sound Of White Noise" after an Antrax album, but also because the day I bolted it,was probably the windiest day I've ever experienced. I was getting flung aroud like a rag doll, and could barely hear the drill.
