Description

*Don't climb this line** Park rangers have said this is too close to the road. please respect their wishes so we can keep climbing here.

Far right end, with your back to the road. Start low on the obvious start jug and work up and right. Use the big flake to pull up and over to stand. **Top slab is very slippery with lose moss. recommend jumping back down.

Wanted to climb the hard stuff but it was all wet. This was all that was dry. Not bad, just don't punt into the road! Feb 12, 2017

I was told that the Park Way rangers said this line was "too close to the road". So use discretion and be safe.
It is a very cool looking line. Feb 14, 2017

I am stoked your coming to try the harder lines George they are great. I hope you try the full lines, they need repeats and consensus. Feb 14, 2017

Thanks for the heads up! I will definitely be back as soon as I can. The lines look soo sick! Feb 14, 2017

This is a great line but it should be removed from Mountain Project. The rangers have told multiple people that the front lines on the boulder shouldn't be climbed. Publicizing it could cause us to lose access to the whole boulder. Mar 14, 2017

Good point we should not encourage people to climb this. Would hate to loose access. Edited the description. Decided not to delete this so that others don't climb it by mistake like I did. Oct 29, 2017

It is probably worth mentioning that a good time to climb this is when the road is closed due to snow. Mar 9, 2021
