Access Issue: Seasonal closures Details

Per The Unsung: this crag and the surrounding 1/4 mile area is closed from April 1 - July 31.

Description

Climb a right-facing corner on the far left side of The Shield. This has good crack climbing in a corner on good rock. It is one of the best moderates around here.

Location

It is on the far left side of The Shield. Start on the slab then quickly move into the corner. The anchor is at the chockstone.

Protection

A single set cams to #3 and stoppers. The anchors are on the chockstone. Bring slings to replace the old ones, as the crack is home to some rather large rats.
