Access Issue: Only public access on USFS land. No deeded easement for public access via Kootenai Creek trailhead.
Details
The only publicly-accessible areas are to the south of Kootenai Creek (left when traveling westbound) approximately 0.6 miles, 1 km, or 1,090 yards from the USFS Kootenai Creek Trailhead. More details here. There is no deeded easement for public access from the Kootenai Creek Trailhead along the Kootenai Creek Trail for the first 0.6 miles so continued access is contingent on visitors staying on the established Kootenai Creek Trail until on Forest Service land. Leaving the established trail and trespassing on private property is not permitted.
Closed areas include, and are not limited to:
First Buttress, Second Buttress, Identity Wall, Sick Bay, Shuffle Buttress, Practice Rock, Spiderhang Buttress, and adjacent rock outcrops on the north side of the canyon. Failure to follow these closures may lead to restricted or complete loss of access.
Description
This route is between Lichen to Fly and Elmo, third route from the left (starting at Outermost Limits).
Start in the overhang and follow bolts to crack, then break off to the Lichen anchors.
Protection
4 bolts to dirty hand crack, fight the vegetation. Gear from #1 BD C3 to #1 BD C4 is fine to protect the crack, then 1 bolt on Lichen to anchors.
