Description

One short friction sequence much harder than ther rest.

Start at 3-4-inch-thick white birch tree which is 9-10 feet right from 10-inch-diameter tree, and just right of obvious wide gully.

Up the face to right of obvious wide gully. Next up slab to a 3-ft-high step with three sections. Get up onto its center section, then up slab to top.

warning: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber or someone setting up top anchor.

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2018. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).
