Details
Cedar Bluff climbing area is encumbered by a conservation easement. Land management occurs regularly on site.
Description
Deep dihedral crack. fairly straightforward climbing. a fall while leading could be bad. several spots you'll have to squeeze through.
Location
the dihedral crack to the right of Fear of Flying.
Protection
i used the trees at the top of the cliff for a top rope anchor. you need two long (60') pieces of webbing. to lead you would need a varied rack.

A #4 Camalot protects the bottom well; save a #4 and a #5 Camalot for the top.
The lower squeeze chimney is tight; remove any gear from the back of your harness to avoid getting stuck.
Building an anchor is tricky at the top unless your have long slings to extend off the trees.
A 60 m will just get you down from the trees on the lower shelf. Rapping off the trees from the upper bluff is not recommended with a 60m rope. Nov 24, 2019
