Access Issue: Private Land-gate closed and locked by nightfall. Details

Sugarloaf is a privately owned recreation area. The park is closed at night and the gate is locked. Allow enough time to pack, hike, and drive out the oneway road to the gate before it is locked.

Description

Climb the overhanging green lichen-covered wall at the far right of the main climbing area of White Rocks, just right of an imposing roof. Exit wall just right of the roof and finish on Lucifer (the cave roof) to the lichen-coated ramp.

Protection

Anchors are an easy set at the top for top-roping. Two large and solid trees are only 15 or so feet from the edge.

A better route than it gets credit for. Definitely easier than the Sherpa connection, and actually protects pretty well. You can get a great piece (#1 cam) in at the roof and another small nut/cam to protect the last awkward pull before scrambling to the trees. Mar 10, 2021
