1) Never park or camp overnight at the access points.
2) Always park off the pavement, taking great care to avoid blocking the gates.
3) Clean up after your dogs. (Local climbers are finding abandoned doggie poop bags.)
4) Pack out all trash and TP, including picking up after others.
5) Use the outhouses if at all possible.
Description
I have never seen anyone on this route but the Lewis Guide gives it 3 stars and now I understand the reasons for both. This route is both amazing and a choss pile. Hard from the start and fairly continuous from the ground to the 4th bolt then the fun begins. It takes a sinuous path as you avoid the choss working your way from one incut jug to the next then finishes with a steep jug haul to the chains. This route is not for everyone. Expect mostly avoidable crumbly holds throughout. With deliberate and precise movement the crumbly holds can be avoided although the incut jugs you are pulling on will probably contain a bit of gravel that they have collected.
