Access Issue: Allenspur Approach
Details
June 2019 Update: Per the SMCC: We contacted the landowners who posted “No Trespassing” signs at the entrance to the northern access at Allenspur (where there is an easement, held by SMCC since 2005). The landowners will amend the signs to recognize that access to BLM lands is allowed through the easement. Please do your part and respect the landowners property - the easement is to access BLM lands, NOT the river. Also, the landowners have noted, and are concerned, that people are building campfires in Crystal Cave. It is dry and windy at Allenspur and an escaped campfire would be nothing but trouble. Please do not build fires, and if you see campfire rings, please make sure the fire is out cold and then scatter the rocks to discourage future fires.
May 2019 Update: “No Trespassing” signs have recently been posted at the entrance to the northern access at Allenspur. To clarify, the easement that controls that access (held by SMCC since 2005) is still in place. The signs are discouraging climbers and hikers from their rightful use of the trail that accesses public BLM land.
Another access exists to the south. It is controlled by a different landowner that allows us the privilege of crossing their land. They have requested that people not bring dogs across their property. If you have been bringing your dog through that property, please stop. Right now, it is imperative that we respect the lawful requests of landowners.

Description
Great line. A huge move to and hard match on a crimp rail by the second bolt (first crux) lead to excellent flowing moves to pull left over the gray bulge (think "sidepulls") up to a rest in a prominent horizontal. From here launch into a sequential and final crux travere right with positive crimps but terrible feet to a decent pod right of the last bolt. If the pump hasn't got you by now, make a few easier moves to the anchors.
Fairly hard at the traverse but some mental acuity and attentive footwork/body positions will get you through. Keep in mind you pull the crux moves some 4-6 feet above your last bolt, but that only adds to the fun, right?!
