Description

This is a very unique area first discovered early to mid 2000s by Strong John and Vasya V. . It was later rediscovered 2019 and the climb “Moon Tulip” was established.

For about 6 weeks it has been my white whale, being nearly a myth, I finally relocated it after finishing the classic novel "Moby Dick". It sits on the edge of Microwave cliffs nestled in the west facing glades above devils den.

The valley below holds the Congo, and a scattering of other boulders.

This is information I gleaned from personal conversations over the years. Dates could be off but wanted to reintroduce this.

Getting There

The easiest approach is to take the ridge trail off of the new North Mountian Bypass parking (ie the hideaway) all the way to base of microwave and traverse right at the top of grassy glade.
