Portions of Reservoir Wall are on private land and should not be climbed. MORE INFO >>> Important - Stay off the part of the wall that faces the road. If you are looking down at the water, then you shouldn’t be there. Access is touchy. Yes, there are good climbs there, but no, you don’t want to ruin access for everyone and there are just a few hundred other good climbs in the Creek. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

A proud line. Shallow left-facing corner starting less than tips and gradually widening with a prolonged stay in the green alien size and a couple long reaches between pods at the top. A bit like a longer Disco Machine Gun with less face holds and a more powerful crux.

Location 

The first crack right of the unnamed Steve Hong 2-pitch 5.11- classic located a 2 minute hike right of Frosted Flakes at the far right side of the Rez. The route is visible in the photo of said Hong classic posted on this site.

Protection 

Doubles from tiny to #1 Camalot with lots of tips and finger-sizes. A medium nut or two is useful.
