RAPTOR CLOSURES: please be aware of seasonal raptor closures. They occur annually in the spring.
Important - Stay off the part of the wall that faces the road. If you are looking down at the water, then you shouldnt be there. Access is touchy. Yes, there are good climbs there, but no, you dont want to ruin access for everyone and there are just a few hundred other good climbs in the Creek.
Description
The guide book description (C)2013 is pretty much dead on without the details. The start is broken and loose and also a little spooky with a difficult crux getting into the finger crack. After the crux the crack quickly opens up to perfect hands and big hands to the anchor.
Location
This route is on the far left end of Reservoir Wall, about 20 minutes past Excuse Station. There is no trail and the bush whacking sucks but hopefully that will improve with some more traffic. The crack is in lighter colored sandstone vs the typical wingate and is very solid. Some of the rock around the start is a little chossy but easy to avoid.
