Access Issue: Private late at the base and rim! Details

Per Skyeler Congdon: this whole wall, the land at the base AND THE RIM are private property. My understanding is that the Massey Family is low key and really cool and have not had a problem with the few of us who climb here regularly, but we need to be EXTRA respectful and responsible on their land.

Description

Waking Life is another favorite of mine on the wall. It has steep, technical crack climbing.

The first pitch is the crux. Begin clipping a bolt a bit off the deck and moving into a shallow corner. Move up and work your way up the steep, thin crack as you come to a large bulge. Work your way through, and crank through some tough jams to a rest. Traverse right and up to a belay.

The second pitch is fun, moderate climbing up a wandering crack that is mostly hands. Gain the steep headstone face at the top where you clip a bolt and make a few delicate exit moves to the top.

Location

This is the far right obvious prow that sticks away from the wall. There is bright colored lichen that glows. This route starts on the far right of the prow up the obvious, thin cracks and out onto the prow's face at the top.

Protection

Doubles from small to #1, one #2 and #3, QDs, and nuts. There are anchors at the top and atop pitch one.

Do a single rope rap to the top of pitch one, or double rope to the bottom with 70s.
