Please respect this private property and use the restrooms in the upper canyon for now. Note that car camping in day use parking spots is NOT allowed in the upper canyon on the Forest Service property.

Be respectful, no dogs, and leave the canyon when nature calls.

Description

Another fantastic new line! Multiple cruxes interspersed with rests, a long endurance journey in a portion of Maple known for it's short powerful bouldery routes.

Location

Past the Jehova wall on the left side of the canyon (coming up canyon). The line is just right of Jesus Freak.

Protection

Bolts. A 70 meter is best for getting everyone off the slab, a 60 meter may get the climber down, but I've not tried it. With a 70 you can lower the climber to the ground and then the belayer can rappel the slab with almost enough rope to reach the ground as well.
