Description Suggest change

START- at the shallow corner (licheny and mossy as of 2014) at the highest point of land. A lonely bolt resides about 25 ft up and just left of the top of the corner.

The climb might gather more stars if the starting corner were cleaned.

P1- Climb up the corner, step left at a stance and clip the bolt ( 30+ yr-old 1/4" replaced by 3/8" S.S. in 2014) Climb the face just left of the bolt (crux, 5.8) and establish a gear belay above, or combine with P2.

P2- To the trees, or move right to a tree island with a 3-4" diameter oak and rap from there.

Descent: Rap from the trees with 2 ropes to the ground, or move 30-40 ft to climber's right to a 4-5" diameter tree with a rap anchor. (Not easy to find, and when you do find it there's a tricky (read "dangerous if you slip") move down through some helmock tree(s). Rap from here 95 ft ( 29 m) to the dbl bolt anchors on "Road to Lhasa", then 85 ft to the ground.

Location Suggest change

The base of the route is located at the highest point of the Height-of-Land (see description in the Height-of-Land Area), just before the land drops off very steeply to climber's left.

Protection Suggest change

Usual rack.
