Access Issue: Only public access on USFS land. No deeded easement for public access via Kootenai Creek trailhead.
Details
The only publicly-accessible areas are to the south of Kootenai Creek (left when traveling westbound) approximately 0.6 miles, 1 km, or 1,090 yards from the USFS Kootenai Creek Trailhead. More details here. There is no deeded easement for public access from the Kootenai Creek Trailhead along the Kootenai Creek Trail for the first 0.6 miles so continued access is contingent on visitors staying on the established Kootenai Creek Trail until on Forest Service land. Leaving the established trail and trespassing on private property is not permitted.
Closed areas include, and are not limited to:
First Buttress, Second Buttress, Identity Wall, Sick Bay, Shuffle Buttress, Practice Rock, Spiderhang Buttress, and adjacent rock outcrops on the north side of the canyon. Failure to follow these closures may lead to restricted or complete loss of access.
Description
Route page for posterity. All bolts have been removed as of 1/11/24.
Starts up a slab and then goes through a roof to an interesting bombay-ish feature. Next step right and pull some more roofs.
Location
This is the last climb uphill, with a large tree at the base. Look for bolts headed up towards a roof.
Protection
Quickdraws and chain anchors. The hanger on the first bolt may be missing?
