Access Issue: Private Property Details

The right (east) side, all roped climbing, is owned by Village of Hanover, which seems ambivalent to climbing. Left side, bouldering, is private property, but the owner has not had a problem with climbing SO FAR. Continued access is far from guaranteed! Rapidly growing crag traffic has become a potential issue.

On the bouldering (west) side, please do not hang out up top or go exploring above the main cliff line. It is private property and we need to keep a low profile. The owner has been hands off so far. Let's try to ensure things stay that way please. Hanging out up top could cause problems with the property owner.

Please do not climb above the roped climbs. Hanging out on the edge of the cliff without ropes is dangerous and the last thing we want is to have an ambulance/injury/fatality there. Please don't endanger crag access through short-sighted behavior!

Please be upstanders and take good care of the crag to help preserve access. Don't leave your trash, and even pack out any trash somebody else might have left behind.

Description

A previously bolted route that's really a trad route. This thing eats gear and the placements are just downright fun.

Starts in a large flaring off-width, although you can also start on the face immediately to the right (steeper, but on good holds). Stem and chimney your way to the top, with a just a bit of spice at the end. Enjoy the well-deserved view! So much fun!

Will be dripping water for most of late winter and well into the spring.

Location

Far right side of the Katz Wall. Follows a large crack/chimney system about 10 feet right of Silver Streaks. If you start walking downhill towards the Cave, you passed it...

(Every wondered why it's called The End of Poison Ivy? There isn't any PI you say! Well, not anymore. There was a time when you couldn't even see rock it was so thick... from top to bottom, left to right. The entire cave and the wall above it were coated. Trees of poison ivy, vines as thick as my arm, I kid you not!
