Access is always an issue here. MORE INFO >>> Please do not litter and observe all regulations. We had to fight to regain access at one time, and we don't want to lose the privilege again. Local ethics and refuge regulations are that no bolting is permitted unless expressly authorized by the park. Leave the hammer and nails at home, no fixed gear please. Everything will go clean. 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 

Climb any route to the CA rap station, then work the thin crack up to the overhanging block in the left corner. She has some very nice roof moves. Some of the best exposure the wall has. Just awesome.

Location 

From the Crazy Alice belay station, climb the right facing corner up to the roof. Pull a few moves and grab the jugs up top. Heel hook and turn the lip. Scramble back down to the Crazy Alice Rap Station.

Protection 

Upper section took small gear and nuts. I used a #0 and #1 C-3, a #1 Rock Empire, and a medium nut. I didn't bother to put in anything in just under the roof, the move was there and placing would have been difficult.
