Details
Ventenata dubia (north Africa grass) was identified at and around Lava Point last fall. So far, this is the only documented site on the entire 4.2 million acres of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest with this invasive species.
Stay on the trails and be sure to clean your shoes/equipment when you leave .
Description
The start traverses a little left over some choss, then follows a shallow technical corner for several bolts. Then pull the double roof and the tricky final mantle crux to the anchors. One of the better and more varied 5.10 sport routes in Washington.
Location
Deadheads Wall between Muted Reality and Get a Job.
Protection
9 bolts to Fixe quicklink anchors

There were some loose blocks before the roof, which were marked with chalk when I climbed last in Nov 16. None were loose enough to pull, but freeze thaws could change that. Dec 29, 2016

Unfortunately the current anchor placement robs you of the final mantle, which is the true Crux of the route. Apr 18, 2020
