Access Issue: Land and Water Reserve Details

Cedar Bluff climbing area is encumbered by a conservation easement. Land management occurs regularly on site.

Description

Name totally made up (certainly not a FA but not in the guidebook, though I thought it worthy of description). Grade is a tired 4th-day-on estimate, so probably soft. From ledge at back of cave, slap to pinch on lip of the low roof tier. Use foot trickery of choice to bring LH to flat sidepull. Slap RH to another pinch, then move up on good ledges.

Location

Right of the pocket problem in the shallow cave. Comes out of the low roof near the dihedral where the shallow cave meets the tall cave, then moves out and left to top out by whichever way is easiest.
