Access Issue: PRECIPITATION AND WET ROCK Details

The sandstone here is easily damaged when wet. Please allow at least 24-48 hours before climbing after any precipitation. If the ground is at all damp, please do not climb on any local sandstone. Consider nearby options on basalt, limestone, granite, or plastic instead.

Description

There is no benefit of the doubt to be given here, either you can start this route or you can't.

A powerful, yet cautious, bouldery beginning marks the crux of this route. Blowing the second, difficult clip could get ugly. Proper body position and strong tendons get you going, find the few remaining hidden crimps and continue up through smoother, more flowing terrain.

Whats bad? A crumbly and potentially dangerous start.
Whats good? Solid varnished edges, good pockets, and great movement.
