Details
fs.usda.gov/activity/dbnf/r… Follow existing trails and climb using removable protection or in climbing areas with existing approved fixed anchors or bolts. Development of any new rock climbing, bouldering or rappelling areas and development of any climbing routes involving the permanent installation of new fixed anchors or new trail construction requires prior Forest Service authorization.
Description
Locate the obvious fingercrack that splits the face. Starts with slightly rattly finger jams (depends on hand size). Then goes to perfect finger locks until the anchor. Footholds seem to appear on the face whenever you start feeling the pump. Excellent climb!!
Location
Route is located left of where the approach trail hits the wall. Hard to miss it if you walk by.
Protection
Lot's of finger size cams useful. The crack widens in a couple spots allowing for a #1 camalot to be placed. Two bolt anchor at top of climb.
