Description Suggest change

On a recent ascent, many bushes were cleaned out and this makes for a fun very long 1st and 2nd pitch up a fun right facing dihedral. More traffic would clean it up more, but probably doesn't get many ascents.
We climbed to the top of EXPECT NO MERCY and then on to EMPTY PLATE

Location Suggest change

See Ruckman Guide. It is the left facing dihedral to the left or west of EXPECT NO MERCY
Rappel from anchors to east or walk down to the west or rappel from trees.

Protection Suggest change

Set of Nuts and Camalots to 3.5
No fixed gear encountered except old rotted slings on trees.
