Access Issue: NO TOP ACCESS
Details
Absolutely no top access in this area. Do not climb over the fence. Do not top out and walk off. All climbers should access climbs from the ground then lower off or rappel from anchors when cleaning the route. The top of the Ground Up area is inside a fence designed to deny access to the top of the cliff. Park staff allow new route development, but only for routes that do not top out. As new routes are developed in this area the anchors will be located so that they cannot be easily reached from the top of the cliff.
Description
This is now a fully-equipped sport route (bolted with permission from the first ascent party) with 10 bolts and a 2-bolt anchor. Climb starts below a giant, dead pine tree and follows an obvious corner and crack system straight to the tree. This was originally a well-protected, but slightly chossy trad lead. The middle section of the climb is slightly overhung, and the crux includes an exhilarating step across the gap between two walls. Also take note: the rock in this section of the cliff tends to be fragile, so be extra cautious and be sure your belayer wears a helmet.
