New Access Difficulties MORE INFO >>>
A new fence laced in razor wire has been erected on the far end of the dam where you used to hop over. Skirting around is a trivial matter, but I'm unsure how the message should be interpreted. There are no new signs indicating closures, and you can still hike over from Stumbling Blocks/Ghetto Wall. If anything the fence is going to have more of an effect on the hikers trying to do the loop than the climbers. On the plus side, I've never seen it so empty at this area.
This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund,
and Mountain Project.
You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

Description Another fun moderate. Somewhat pumpy jug-haul, lessened considerably by the availability of many good rests on the dihedral. Crux at the top: when you see two bolts and two anchors within 5 feet of each other, you know you’re there.
Location Second route from the left (on Power Wall), just before the pool of water. An obvious climb up a small dihedral littered with huge huecos.
Protection 5 bolts + anchors. Plenty of good bolts to a biner and an open shut at the top. A bit of loose rock at the top.

| Super fun route. I'd have a buddy TR clean the route instead of taking the draws off while being lowered because the anchors are to the right and its a kind of a mission. |

| Position yourself wisely for the third blot clip. I found it tricky had to do an around the head twist maneuver wasn't pretty |

| Great route, but the second to last bolt prior to the anchors is sunk in a hollow sounding piece of rock. I would not want to fall on it. Also, there are a number of holds just before the anchors that sound hollow as well and may come off. Climb carefully! |
