Access Issue: Petrographs: Look, but don't touch.
Details
There are several petrographs on rock faces at The Adjective. None of the artifacts are directly impacted by the climbing routes but the Forest Service archaeologist asks that we climbers be wise and respect our Native American heritage. Look, but don't touch. (Likely Fremont-culture era, so ca. 1000 years old or older.)
Description
Just right of Vomit are two steep lines. The left of these is Ferocious.
The intended start seems to be an obvious rail hold that isn't as good as you would like. But we found a good way to do it using a great sidepull-undercling hold to the left and just over head high. Once you get past the second bolt the holds are all really good and it is just a matter of enduring.
The ending does hold one last challenge for you, so save something if you can. Really fun line...
Protection
6 bolts and chains. The first bolt is low and to the right and doesn't help much and the second is twisted sideways.
