Megan climbing on a sultry day out in the Wichita'...
Description
Great rock on this fabulous line. Your 2nd needs to be competent at the grade, since an early fall with rope stretch could get them into the water. Crux is up high, the exposed move out left under the roof. Belay in the corner and move up on easier climbing to the main wall anchors, or (more sensible as the last pitch is lacking) rap off the tree to the right.
Location
Start at the right side of the first pool you pass. Watch for poison ivy. Scramble off the back side down to a tree that has been slung with rap ring. A single 50m will get you back to the deck.

Actually pretty fun. We both climbed up to first turn (15 feet over water) and set the 1st belay there to reduce rope drag. Belayer standing on small ledge with 2 small nuts for anchor.
Even with high 1st belay still quite a bit of drag once I was up on the big ledge (could have set 2nd belay earlier as mentioned above instead of linking 1 and 2). Interesting rock. We did the final optional short not-fun pitch and walked off the back, don't get cliffed (by turning towards starting point too early) and walk is easy.
