Access Issue: Warning for the Great Northern Slab and Sonic Slab areas on the west (left) end Details

In late Nov 2023, there was a significant rockfall encompassing the GNS, Sonic Slab, and Roger's Corner areas. There is still a ton of rock on the upper section that will very likely come down in the near future. This rock includes small and very large boulders. Please respect closures and avoid this region for the foreseeable future. For more information or updates please refer to the Climb Index! facebook page.

Description

After the beautiful, stupendous, in-your-face Stern Farmer, step left to undercling the flake that forms the final crux of Japanese Gardens and head straight up, out of the dark corner system and onto the open, airy face. The transition is just breathtaking.

If your face doesn't hurt from smiling by the time you clip the chains, seek help.

Protection

Bring a #2 Camalot for the undercling and a piece of pro for the JG crux. Beware of rope drag from whatever piece you place before the traverse.

If you've got the chops for stern farmer, do yourself the service of taking it to the heavens. put a runner on the cam behind the undercling and let it rip. when you slap that jug on the boulder problem of JG, its not granite you're holding onto. It's enlightenment Apr 2, 2019

Matt speaks the truth. I'm bummed knowing that I will never do a better rock climb than this. Aug 25, 2023
