Description
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
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.
