Details
The park closes on February 1st and remains closed until July 15th to protect nesting peregrine falcons. Their annual nesting spot is on the Shining Wall, though they can be heard year-round. Please respect the closure and DO NOT CLIMB AT MADRONE WALL BETWEEN FEB 1st AND JULY 15th. Updates to the status of the park will posted on Clackamas County Park's website -
clackamas.us/parks/madronew… - and on the Madrone Wall Preservation Committee facebook page -

Description
Start up the thin crack, finding feet where they exist, and getting your tips in the crack. Look for holds out right to ease the awkwardness. Once you're at the piton things ease up a bit, and the crack widens for some good hand-jams and flake-jugs. Step left around the slight bulge on big edges and pull up to the midway ledge. Make another awkward move off of this ledge and move left onto the slab. Set yourself up below the final bulge and find your sequence. Once on this ledge, a final easy move delivers you to the anchors shared with Identity and Mental Crisis, both worthy top-ropes if you're keen.
Location
An obvious left-trending corner between the bolt lines of Mental Crisis and Talk Talk Talk, right side of the Left Corner Wall
