Warning Access Issue: Hiking along the railroad tracks is illegal and parking in the adjacent dirt pullout may get your vehicle towed. BUT the VFW just south is graciously providing access via their gravel parking lot. DetailsDrop down

Description

Start standing using a low left side pull and a sloper on your right. Use small intermediates or make a reach to a big in-cut above your head. From here move up off sandy feet and right to a sandy in-cut sloper. A small slot up and left sets you up for the top.

Location

On the west side of the Learning to Fly boulder. There is Pipe sticking up from the ground about 8 feet directly in front of the start.

[Hide Comment] Let me know if you know of the FA and name. I'm sure someone has done this, there was chalk on the start. Feb 18, 2018

[Hide Comment] I know people have tried this for sure. Probably someone has done it. I've climbed it to the top but then bailed on the mantle top out cause that thing is sloping and a little scary.

Did you really think it was a V2? Not that it matters, but I thought it was a bit harder. Feb 19, 2018

[Hide Comment] Hardest part is the topout. I used a kind of sketchy/sharp flake May 31, 2021
[Hide Comment] Zen Pen’s best crack climb. 3 bomber jams make this climb much easier than without! Jan 8, 2023
