Description Suggest change

Updated 2024 because this route is better than my first experience, it took time to learn its secrets, route currently just needs a good clean and a couple pine branches cut but in general is a great route if you can stay on it!

p1 5.5 75ft 

Climb the corner through the hole in the rocks, probably combine with p2

P2 5.5 75ft

Continue climbing the corner system until you come to a ledge under an orange face, belay here

P3 5.6 150ft

Wayfinding is the first crux of this pitch, best way i have found up is to traverse levelish with the belay far right past three vertical features which all look like they probably go free, duck under a low roof and around the corner, then go up on very crunchy lichen face trending back left

P4 5.3 175ft

Follow the easy ramps trending left

P5 5.3 175ft

Continue on ramps, duck left around large block to connect into good heavens, can go right but you end up with a nasty bush whack thru pines 

Location Suggest change

go past good heavens continuing along the base of the buttress, go under the large overhang, the "Trail" becomes a bit of a ledge system if you hug the cliff with a few squeezes between cliff and trees. Look for the sweet looking ~15ft chimney with awesome hand crack on the left side and grass surrounding the base. 7.16.17 - chopped out a bit of the "trail" with machete.
