awkward belay at bottom of 3rd pitch


Description 

Pitch 1: Start on the mossy slabs between the 2 pullouts and climb up to a tree belay in the corner.
Pitch 2: Climb up the corner then either move left below the roof, or continue up and over the roof, then build a really awkward belay just under the steep 5.8 face with the hand crack to the center left.
Pitch 3: Climb the crack system up the center of the face to a tree belay on top.

Descend off the top from a large tree by rappelling into the gully to the east, then walking out of the rest of the gully. Be careful not to knock down rocks while walking through the gully, they pick up quite a bit of speed if they make it to the road.


Location 

Start in between the two pullouts on the mossy slab.


Protection 

Done will all clean gear. No bolts or chains on route, must build anchors

When Climbing this route be EXTREMELY careful of loose rock. When I last did this climb there were multiple suitcase size rocks and large detatched flakes that are ready to go and they wont stop until they are in the road.
