Details
Please be mindful of the neighbors on Big Rock Lake Road. Do not park along the road, generate excessive noise in the parking lot or at the cliff, or camp out. If the parking is full, use the spot at the intersection of Preston McDaniel and Nine Times Roads. This is a neighborhood, drive slow and be courteous. Violating one of these rules is an easy way to get the cliff shutdown for everyone.
Description
A thin start gains a seam and the first bolt. From here undercling the big thin flake up and right past another bolt and some knob climbing to gain the diagonal "crack". Optional gear here. Clip a bolt above on the face and move left along the foot ledge to the large groove. Follow the groove past bolts (might need to sling long) to a ledge below the easy slab. Climb this slab past one last bolt to the anchor in the boulder up and right of the tree.
Location
Middle-right of the south face. Starts from the lowest point of the rock.
Protection
6 or 7 bolts and an optional finger/hand size cam (0.5 camalot ?)
