Description Suggest change

Major rockfall occurred from an overlap directly above “ Chuck Taylor” and “ Lichen It” . It is not known if the climbs and/or their bolts have been damaged, but these two climbs, and especially Lichen It are unclimbable due to the broken trees laying on the climbs. 

The area further right of "Surveyor's Route / The Flake" and "Berliner".

The Matt Bowman "guide" lists 6 routes in this area, (# is route# in guide) L-to-R they are:

(16) Chuck Taylor All Stars 2 pitches ( 90ft 5.4 & 90 ft 5.7) Access by traversing right on a narrow path, close to the cliff, that starts at the level of the base of Berliner.

(17) Lichen It 110 ft (single 70m rap) 5.6 3-stars in 3 star system - 40-50 feet down and right of Berliner/The Flake.

(18) Converse Rubber 5.9 1-star Is the CONTINUATION of "Lichen It". Start 110 feet up  at the Lichen It 2 bolt anchor.

(19) Business Trip 170 ft ( 2 rope rap ?) 5.8 3-stars 40-50 feet right of Lichen It

beyond the lowest point:

(20) Birthday Boy 100 ft 5.9 2-stars - A clean slab 100 - 125 feet right of Business Trip. About 1/3 of the way there, (about 30-40 ft right of B.T.) you'll pass a dirty slab with one bolt.

(21) Sneaker Slab 110 ft 5.1 Continue past Birthday Boy (the trail become less distinct, but generally is only 10-15 ft from the slab) for a while (200 ft?) You'll pass by "Sneaker Direct" (My name for an unprotected slab that looks about 5.4-5.5) until you hit a small water course. Take this up a few steps to a flat dirt ledge at the base of Sneaker Slab. 2 bolts to an anchor.

Getting There Suggest change

Continue right on the climber's path towards the low point.
