Details
Officially known as Muir Valley Climbing Area and a Nature Preserve, Muir is owned and managed by the Friends of Muir Valley non-profit organization.
In order to keep the valley operating a $15 fee is charged per car for parking to cover upkeep.
Some important rules must be followed to ensure future access and enjoyment by all. A complete list can be found at
muirvalley.org/tabs/#pills-1 , but the most important are listed below:
- All climbers must fill out a legal release form before climbing. muirvalley.org/waiver/ ;
- The parking lot described in the directions below is the only permitted parking. Do not park on private drives.
- No dogs are allowed in Muir Valley (nor left in your car in the parking lot.)
- No hammocks are allowed to be hung/used in Muir Valley.
Description
Pull off the ground on decent hands into the ever widening crack. After a section of fists it flares to off width and squeeze. Continue onward at the top of the vertical wall through a lower angle mossy section to a two bolt anchor.
Location
The obvious wide crack in the corridor left of Special K.
