Description

Found when trying to find Cedar Eater without the guidebook.

Splitter roof and right leaning crack. It's super thin hands all the way underneath, widening slightly to perfect hands to just-smaller-than-fists.

After scrubbing the inside of it ferociously, it proved to be an awesome little climb.

It was wet directly underneath the climb, getting our pads soaked, and this was in early August. I imagine before then, it may even by under the river.

Location

Located about 300 feet down river from the footbridge, in the middle of the river. Simply hiking along the north side of the river and occasionally looking for it will be the best way to find it I suppose.

Protection

Pads.

[Hide Comment] No we did not. We only went up to the area with pads this one time, and never got around to going back up there to try to find Cedar Eater. I'm sure with the book in hand we'd eventually come across it haha. Nov 14, 2013
