Climbing restricted due to tourist safety MORE INFO >>> ACCESS NOTE: Please note that the forest service has restricted climbing for any routes past the area of Red Wagon (just left of the Trinity Cracks) due to tourist safety. Local access groups are working to get this restriction lifted. 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 

Ramp, corner, crack system just left of Hidden Hollow. It's the obvious wider black corner just right of MicroTome and Obscurity.

What appears as a bushy choss fest was actually some pretty decent climbing with a bit of 5.8 here and there. I think the "crux" would be towards the top.

It's a right leaning system.

Location 

Note there are two or three good 5.10 type routes to the left of this and before Fresh Air. Maybe Larry will chime in with their names.

Protection 

Standard rack, I imagine. Was done via 3rd class.
