Description 

Named after the barkless tree that leans against the cliff directly behind the route. All Bite and No Bark starts on the jugs next to the obvious block of white limestone protruding from the wall. The route involves a large dyno just after the start.

I'm guessing at the grade and poaching a name because I haven't sent it, and I haven't ever heard anyone talk about it.

Feel free to send and claim the FA, and naming privileges, just be aware you may not be the actual first ascensionist.

I got on this route the past weekend. It is a great route. It was SO cold though... which means no send. It was the coldest weather I ever endured climbing--no warmer than 15 degrees. Expect a lot of new routes from this entire wall. It is too bad this area hasn't been found earlier (or has it...). Great routes and very good quality rock.

This route saw two sends today. Mike Taylor and myself. A little bit wet, but an awesome route! I think it will become a classic at High cliff. Very nice flow to the route. We guessed maybe 5.11-/5.11. Not a route to be passed up.

Nice work Pete. Now you just need to get the drill out...

I don't know if you were kidding, but I seriously think that would be a perfect route to bolt. I don't know really anything about bolting, but it seems like the face is very solid. Much more so than the usually chossy other areas of High Cliff. Anybody have some input?

Well Pete, there are two ways to go about it.

One is to just bolt it and then you have the, "well nobody said I couldn't..." Excuse.

Admittedly that's pretty shady; so I'd say get a consensus from a few local climbers (I vote yes), then approach the park about doing it. Talk to them about "preserving the clifftops" and safety. Refer them to Willow River SP heads because they have park-sanctioned, bolted, limestone cliffs there.

Edit to add:
Also you can rename this thing if you want, because I don't think it's been done by anyone else...
