Access Issue: Access to GFNP (Roadside) REQUIRES a Daily Permit Details

Please DO NOT climb at GFNP (Roadside) without a daily permit per climber in the group. After a long closure, access to Roadside was made possible again in March 2015 under the name Graining Fork Nature Preserve. This access is contingent upon climbers being good stewards and obtaining a daily permit via the GFNP website. grainingfork.org/ For the sake of the access privilege it is imperative that climbers follow this rule and obtain the daily permit.

Description

Sort of like climbing three V3s in a row, Hemisfear climbs up a series of tiny crimps and edges into a hueco about 40 feet up the wall. Short, but sustained at the grade. Being vertical and super crimpy, Hemisfear is a spectacular diversion from typcally steep, juggier climbing in the Red.

Location

Hemisfear is the first line of bolts left of Hard Left. Start on the boulder, end in the hueco.

Protection

3 bolts to anchors.

Permit Required

***Climbers MUST NOT climb at GFNP without a daily permit per person in each group.***

This route is privately owned and requires a daily per-user permit obtained from the Graining Fork Nature Preserve website.
This isn't about just you getting away with climbing for a day without a permit--this is about the climbing community respecting private land to ensure continued access privileges. Don't be selfish--get a permit.
