Private land info on the sign at the gate (please see photo). Follow all rules on the sign to ensure future access.
When a red fire hazard sign is posted, access is temporarily not allowed.
If you encounter logging personnel be courteous and follow any instructions. Access is a privilege.
Don't block the gate. Park well away from the corner/intersection on west boundary road, or in the two spots just right of the gate. (please see photo). Stay out during active logging operations, gate is often left open during these times.
R.I.P: flexor tendons
*If you borrow the stick clip that lives here, please put it back where you found it when you're done.
A new wall, right of the madrone coves, this is the very short (20-40 feet), very steep (20-40 degrees) panel that faces NE. Everything here is characterized by hard pulls on small pockets. At a certain height in the band, 1-2 finger pockets are the dominant feature on nearly every route. Most of the wall is hung with steel permadraws. The wall gets nearly full-time shade and will have good conditions most of the year. Despite the stature some routes are surprisingly sustained: there are good fights to be had!
The wall now has quite a few independent lines and myriad linkups. To keep things from getting too confusing there is a topo drawn, and routes that don't offer much independent terrain are at the right end of the list with [var] at the end of the name. Because the wall diagonals up and right some of the best lines here are technically linkups.
Below/left of the main rip wall are some good vertical faces and aretes.
Uphill from the rip by ~150 feet is a nice 60ft wide wall with an interesting boulderable traverse. Will be enduro and is pretty reasonable to work without a pad.
-all the bolts are new (2020 on), stainless glueins.
-Some routes are completely or mostly climbable in the rain due to their steepness. PLEASE AVOID pulling on any damp holds however. Not as bad as sandstone, but wet holds seem to break more easily here: save them for others!
Potential for moderates further right if you're willing to battle a bit of moss.
-note that there is no poison oak here. Its a pretty decent hang.
