Description
This is commonly done as a toprope but is also a fun, short, lead climb. If you are standing at the bottom of the main wall/overhang, this climb starts at the base of
Yara River Eliminate boulder problem and climbs up to the one and only bolt (20-25 feet up). Clip the bolt and climb through a few sets of overhangs to a pumpy traverse out right. Plug in some gear in the big, horizontal traverse, and make a bouldery move to pull the last lip. This climbs one of the biggest lines on the cliff, 50 feet, 5.11+.
Location
This is on the middle/right hand side of the main wall at Society Turn. Look for the one and only bolt (has some faded tat on it), along with the overhanging roofs. There are a few variations in terms of the boulder problems you could do leading up to the bolt. If top roping, you'll need to extend your anchor quite a bit.
Protection
1 bolt halfway up, a #2 for the horizontal above, a few other options along the way.
