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 

Find a left-facing corner 25 feet left of the prominent chimney/gully that is down and left from the start of White Chimney. Climb up the corner to the roof (a very interesting move), then over the roof (crux) to an easy slab. Rap from the pine.
This route seemed a bit easy for the grade. The crux is brief, the protection is good, and it is easy to place.

Location 

Find the huge block leaning against the cliff; there is an obvious chimney and to its right you will see a slab with a bolt about 30 feet up. The start of this route is down the trail to your left about 70 feet or so.
