Description
Slab with an outside corner on its left end and an inside corner on its right end.
Steep slope above makes it tricky to set up top-rope anchors.
Top Rope: To get access to set up a top anchor, some possible ways:
warning: The rock on and around this cliff has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.
. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).
Steep slope above makes it tricky to set up top-rope anchors.
Top Rope: To get access to set up a top anchor, some possible ways:
- scramble up around right (east) end of Jersey Volunteers sector, then scrambling + walking roughly horizontally left (west) across top of that and then across top of Kitty Corners sector; or
- for those with the skill and experience, faster to climb up the Tangling with Yarn route (class 4) of the Kitty Corners sector, then walk/scramble west across the top.
