The base of Gelsa, marked by the large tree growing up and out from the blocky crack at the base of cliff. <br> <br> The first belay point tree can be seen in the upper 1\5 of the pic parallel and on the right to the main tree. True color of rock is creamy yellow as seen in the other pics.

Dan jump cruising p3 <br> WARNING BETA INFO <br> I would recommend as you step up and around the overhang there is a good horizontal to place a piece in. If not it can be a little run out to the next good spot. The rock on the left side of the corner is crappy.
