RAPTOR CLOSURES: please be aware of seasonal raptor closures. They occur annually in the spring.
Important - Stay off the part of the wall that faces the road. If you are looking down at the water, then you shouldnt be there. Access is touchy. Yes, there are good climbs there, but no, you dont want to ruin access for everyone and there are just a few hundred other good climbs in the Creek.
Description
One fall morning, we make our way up to the crag. Nearly every route is taken. We start to look at the lines between the lines, Behold, cracks abound! We trudge on, farther around the wall, lamenting having not brought up the drill. When we reach an open, established climb, Dave looks over to me and says "I kind of have to poop." But Dave's a good guy, and adds "I can grab the drill while down there."
Like the many tunes he sings to himself with multiple movements, he moves himself down the trail with speedy finesse, back to Beef Basin for yet another movement. Upon his return there was much rejoicing and a wonderful #3s crack was established.
There could be a third and fourth movements too to take it to the rim, but some trundling and a lot of cleaning would be required. Maybe some day the entire composition will be completed.
