Climbing limited to areas below observation deck. MORE INFO >>> As per 7/13/11 email reply from A.N.F. Support Service and Recreation Teams, the restrictions on climbing/rappelling are limited to areas below the observation deck, to prevent interaction between rope gear and man-made structures or guests of the observation deck. The restrictions due to timbering were evidently just a failure to remove the posts from their boards afterwards. 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 spectacular overhanging lieback. Start by scrambling up to a ledge about 15 ft up. Follow the finger crack as it gradually becomes overhung, until reaching the top. A challenging variation continues right once reaching the top, and requires a pro placement just before sending the roof (5.10b).

Location 

Number 1 in order from the left(north) to right(south) end of the crag, as it appears facing the rock from the base.

Protection 

Top rope using trees above for anchors or pro to 2.5 inch.
