CLOSED: Forestry Closure Update - FULL WEST SIDE CLOSURE begins 12/11.
The west side of the park will be completely closed for forest health mitigation until further notice (~mid-2024, weather-dependent). The west trailhead parking lot will remain open for access to the south. Trails impacted by closure: Mountain Muhly Trail, Bearberry Trail, Homestead Trail, Silver Fox Trail, Ponderosa Trail, and the majority of Sisters Trail. 2023 ALD Forestry - a map of the Second Segment Closure (PDF) can be found through the link above.
The eastern side of the park and trailhead have reopened following completed forestry work in that area.
Description
Climb the north-west prow/arete via crimps and side pull pinches to a small shelf. From here, continue climbing straight up. Don't deviate too far left or the top-out officially ends on another line.
So, continue up onto easier, but spookier climbing above.
This climb is still very dirty but will clean up nice. I would have given it 3 stars otherwise.
Location
Located on the "Cross Block." About 20 feet EAST of the "Black Pearl" Boulder. The boulder features a cross like crack formation on its WEST face.
Protection
Many pads and spotters!!
