[Hide Comment] Another route with a dead tree fallen on it, seems to be a trend. Climbing right around the tree lets you climb a decent portion of the route. Protects reasonably well with small pro. May 13, 2009
[Hide Comment] A very thoughtful little 5.6, not difficult but you gotta pay attention for the holds as there isn't a ton of positive rock here. Some chossy rock along this wall but this climb is pretty clean, the fallen tree adds atmosphere. We rapped down and used the bolts up top and just TR'd it. Lots of fun for a climb of this rating, right by the water and shady and cool. I'd rate it higher but it's super short. Jul 22, 2009

[Hide Comment] There is a bolt about 2/3 of the way up, but by that point you might as well solo it. This climb is a bit tricky in spots with little crimpers. I'd agree with Rachelle, this doesn't have much positive rock. Nov 18, 2010
