Description
One of the tougher 5.9 routes you're likely to find. The initial moves seemed more in the 5.10b range. The route starts from the large deck that lies roughly in the middle of the base of Trad Rock. Isle of You is the middle of three lines that start from this deck between the left-hand arete (home of Jizzneyland, 5.10c) and the largish oak on the right-hand. Initial moves are a thin left to right traverse to the first bolt. The second bolt lies in a dishy depression, reached by traversing a bit more up and right. The climb then heads straight up 150' on fun varied face with relatively few rest stances. The small roof about 100' up is a highlight. Descend with 2 ropes or by easy walk off the back.
