Details
Rim Rock Trail at N. Table Mt. Park is closed Feb. through July 31 to protect raptor nesting territory and ground-nesting bird habitat.
It's likely few climber go there, but it may affect the adventurous.
Description
The first 30' of this route deserves a bomb rating, but the upper part of the route is good and fun. At the start, the rock has a lot of lichen, and you have to climb through a bush. Above, you reach a ledge. From here, the climbing follows a crack and is fun. The crux is near the top where it is slightly overhanging and you must stem for a few moves. There is a little bit of hand jamming below, and there are several good rest ledges between difficult climbing.
Location
This climb is on the far left side of the Hot Spot Area/right side of Winterfest Wall. It is to the left of
Crowbar Cowboy and to the right of
Whole Lot of Drunk. The start goes up a vegetated crack on the left side of a large block.
Walk off to the left or find an anchor on another route that is reachable from the top.
Protection
A standard rack, and the route has no fixed anchor.
