Description

Multi-stage adventure with four or five phases of different rock styles requiring different techniques.

Up the corner to get hands on horizontal crack. Traverse left to get hands on a rather wobbly rather large rock.
. . (Variation: Instead continue straight up to the top of the right-facing corner (5.11a).
Next over the bulge and right on slab up to small tree. Finish up steep face to top of cliff.

note: Be sure to check the security of this large wobbly rock before trying this route. And of course the belayer or any other member of the party should not stand anywhere near under that rock.

warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber - (and if possible, behind a large tree).

Location

Right-facing corner with thin crack starting five feet up, at right side of big low roof.
