Description

Thoughtful moves the whole way.

See "shoulder" nub below left from highest cliff-top nub with crack above low 18-inch-deep right-facing corner. See short vertical crack in bulge below shoulder nub.

Start on face a bit left from below that short vertical crack. Work up to get hand on second left-trending diagonal. Next (crux) reach up to the bottom of the bulge. Up over the bulge staying left of the obvious vertical crack (and not using that crack) to reach a slopy left-trending ramp. Carefully mount onto that, then across it and up to the top of the shoulder nub.

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 or someone setting up top anchor.

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2018. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

Protection

For ideas how to set up anchor for Top-Roping, see Description page for this sector Rosenstein.

Top-Rope could be set up with two directional protection placements from an anchor on the highest cliff-top hump.

Protection for trad Leading is unknown and likely inadequate.
