Access Issue: Climbing restricted due to tourist safety Details

ACCESS NOTE: Please note that the forest service has restricted climbing for any routes past the area of Red Wagon (just left of the Trinity Cracks) due to tourist safety. Local access groups are working to get this restriction lifted.

Description

A stiff, short little climb that turns out to be a decent problem.

You wouldn't go here to do this climb but if you're looking for new things to do at the local area then this one fits the bill.

Named because first lead won 1 1/2 6 packs of beer of choice when I pulled the lead off. I believe I had to give up 1/2 a pack because I fell or hung and lowered. Yep, that was it, I hung, scoped out some holds and lowered back down.

I believe Jim had tried it and I was giving him grief for not firing up such a short POS so he bet me I couldn't do it.

If I remember correctly, this is a good one to sandbag your buddy on.

My notes say 5.11-, but then say hard lead, bad style.

Not the best memory here, but I think there might be a bit of an issue with getting good gear to keep you from hitting a ledge if you fall off the crux. I believe the crack is good enough but it dies out and then you have to do some face moves with a bit of a fall potential. Since I never thought falling at the Overlook was a good idea, too many broken up features, I've given this a PG13 so you have some forewarning. I just don't remember. Maybe it sows up with a TCU and all is well ? What, 25 years ago ! No wonder I can't remember.
