Access Issue: Parking Details

This area has a tiny 14 car parking area. It often fills. You can park further back from the trailhead, but the opportunities are limited and add a good bit to the approach.

Description

This is a nice, short sport climb that is worth the effort if you are in the area or the weather is too threatening for a multi-pitch run.

Thanks, Jay, for the update on the route info.

Hop aboard traversing a ledge near a tiny tree. Move upwards past 2 bolts (which seem to have been removed as of 5/14/13). There is a slightly balancy move past bolt 3 (which seems to have been removed as of 5/14/13). After clipping the 4th bolt (which seems to have been removed as of 5/14/13), you engage the crux sequence staying slightly left. The clipping jug for the 5th bolt (which seems to have been removed as of 5/14/13) seems somewhat fragile. After getting the 6th bolt (which seems to have been removed as of 5/14/13), you may find a #5-7 BD wire or small Alien more comforting, but you don't need them.

There is a 3 bolt variation (which seem to have been removed as of 5/14/13), Garden Party, to the right after the 3rd bolt that in October was.

The locking biners at the anchor (which seems to have been removed as of 5/14/13) tend to twist your rope.

Location

This is the obvious bolt line just right of the water groove with 3 bolted (1 project) (which all seem to have been removed as of 5/14/13) variations left of the nadir of Pulpit Rock.

Protection

6 protection bolts (which seem to have been removed as of 5/14/13), optional #5-7 BD wire or small Alien, 2 bolt anchor (which seem to have been removed as of 5/14/13) with 2 locking biners.
