Darker Between Ribs

Some bigger moves.

Up through darker rock, then up to 2 ft deep roof above and pass over/around left edge of roof, then straight to the central tree anchor.

warning: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

FA first ascent? The listing of a Top-Rope first ascent does not imply that top-roping is the "appropriate" style for this route. If some party bolts this route and leads it and supplies a careful description of the size and metal-composition of the bolts and hangers - (by posting an Improve This Page or a Comment below) -- they wlll be given first-rank FA on this page. Also they can supply their own new name for this climb.

Bottom is on the wide grassy ledge that rises diagonal left-to-right through the middle of the cliff face.
Find darker fractured rock between two light-color ribs, about 18-20 ft left from dihedral / open book of lighter-color rock with cap.

No fixed hardware for top anchor or for leading.

Top-Roping: The three-bolt anchor on the left side of the top of the cliff is too far away from the top of this route, but there is a substantial low tree / bush back a few feet from the top edge of the cliff, which could be used with a static line.
. . (There is also a directional bolt on the cliff face below left from that low tree / bush -- not useful for this route itself, but might allow some quick convenient "playing" on other rock after finishing this route).

For ideas about how to get access to set up top anchor, see Description page for this sector 1.

Protection for Trad leading is unknown and likely inadequate.
