A portion of Near Trapps has been closed to climbing MORE INFO >>> A portion of the Near Trapps has been closed to climbing. This includes land below the cliff to above cliff line and starts approximately at Eenie Meenie and continues south about 200 feet. Climbers are asked to respect the no-trespassing signs and advised to use the access trail marked in orange blazes. This trail starts at the intersection of the Blue trail over the top of the Nears and the first Red trail. Follow the orange blazes east and downhill from this junction to arrive at the far (south) end of the Nears.

Description 

Step onto a very short slab then move up to a dirt ledge; there is a small tree on the ledge. Hand traverse right around the corner (crux), up the nose and pass right around another small tree. Climb past a short, right-facing corner, over a small roof, then follow a crack to the final slab. At the top of the slab there is a big pine tree for belaying and rappelling.
The protection is good and the rock is clean, but I felt that the line was indistinct, and I didn't find any particularly intriguing moves.

Location 

At the top of a small rise approximately 50-60 feet left of Eastertime.

Protection 

Standard 'Gunks rack.
