Description Suggest change

A meandering and fun little jaunt up the right side of the prow where the 60' jump is located.

Start on the lowest of the series of ledges closest to the water. Start up to the right until you reach a short vertical crack and a mantle off to the right. This is the first "crux" (if anything on this cruiser could be considered a crux). Then walk left along the large ledge until you round a small corner and see another crack. Continue upwards to the right, passing the old piton and finishing by lay-backing up the crack underneath the anchor tree at the top. This piton and others that I have encountered at this crag makes me think that I am far from the first person to climb here. If anyone has any info on previous ascents please let me know!

There is a 5.9+ variant where you stay left after the piton instead of bearing right.

There are 2 ways up to the top and three ways down. You can access the anchor tree either by scrambling up the low cliffs a couple hundred feet to the left, or by doing some 5th class scrambling up to the right of Nauti Nana where some cliff jumpers have included some sketchy fixed ropes.

Location Suggest change

Midway along the chain of cliffs is a large corner protruding into the lake. The top of this is the hallowed jumping cliff. To the right, along the edge of the cliff there is a large, old, gnarled tree. This is what we used for a top-rope anchor. 

Protection Suggest change

Top-rope off the tree at the top.
I have yet to lead this trad, but it seems very doable.
I have soloed this in the past, which was a pretty fun climb. I'm not sure whether this could be considered a deep water solo, as there are points where you would hit a ledge if you fell, but the water is very deep and safe on the whole.
