Access Issue: Private Property; Battress Wall is currently closed to climbers
Details
Currently, as of 2017, the Battress Wall, located along Providence North, is not open to climbers. The previous land developer, which was aware of climbers and provided a verbalized ok to climbing access, pasted away. The current developer and owner does not currently want climbers accessing the cliff line. Providence Main Wall and Providence South Wall is open to climbers accessing the cliff line along the property line and the owner is aware of climbers. Please respect private property and stay along the property line and cliffs.
Description
A short crux at the second bolt leads to fun climbing and some questionable rock before finishing through an exciting, slightly overhanging left-facing dihedral. After the first ascent a rusty, old nut tool was found at the base. It didn't turn out to be Karp's, but the name stuck.
Location
30 yards left of Simple Math
Protection
7 bolts. Two bolt anchor
