Description

This section of the cliff hosts the namesake Charge the Farm!, an enjoyable and engaging moderate face route.

This section is typically higher above the tree line and is therefore sunnier.

Getting There

Hike right along the base of the upper cliff band. For the Farm climbs, look uphill for a dark green fixed static rope. Climb the static rope and a steep scramble to a large open ledge.

From the overlook it is possible to hike down and skier's left to the cliff edge. An obvious passage leads to the fixed anchor at the cliff edge. It is possible to rappel from here and rig a top-rope on the Charge the Farm face.
