Access Issue: Please Obey Speed Limits & Rim Rock Trail Closure
Details
Rim Rock Trail at N. Table Mt. Park is closed Feb. through July 31 to protect raptor nesting territory and ground-nesting bird habitat.
It's likely few climber go there, but it may affect the adventurous.

Description
This is the supposedly easiest crack system in this area as of late 2008. Find this loose, wide, double crack system in a slot. The rock is quite loose and flaky, shedding pounds of rock even well after its first ascent. Squirm into the fissure, stand on loose footholds, thrutch, arm bar, switch directions, and get established about 10 feet up. Silt can and will cover that left jug inside. Find easier climbing until you get to ~30 feet up. Here, there are some decidely loose and threatening blocks lightly embedded in the shifting silt. If wise, move left to finish as for the 9 route (The Short Tour) to the left up to a pair of Fixe rap bolts.
Note, getting to the anchors from above for a TR involves a belayed scramble down loose terrain.
Some may feel the rating a bit stiff (given in the guidebook), but apparently some solo the route (not me).
Addendum: the rating I listed comes from the guidebook. I would up the rating.
