Access Issue: No overnight camping on PG&E property
Details
Noticed several tents while walking into the emeralds climbing area this last weekend ( 5/20/17 ). PG&E (Pacific Gas and Electric) has posted several signs at the gate and other areas that state camping is NOT allowed. Please respect this so that access does not become an issue! Thanks in advance, Colby W.
Description
P1: (5.10b) Climb the first pitch of The Moon.
P2: (5.10c) Head straight up from the anchors into an immediate full-on roof traverse (crux). Good jugs mark the way as you scramble through long reaches until back to vertical face.
A crack marks the upper crux where either a quick balancey reach or an awkward, powerful lock-off get you through the business. A final top-roping directional awaits before the anchors.
Variation "Gravity Assist": (5.10b) instead of climbing the roof-traverse jugs at the start of P2, climb slightly right of the anchor and a few feet higher before heading left to a slopey traverse where the roof jugs of Low Gravity are now your feet. The proper beta makes this more like a 10b, but can be hard to decipher.
