ADJACENT PRIVATE LAND
Please respect adjacent private landowners. While the climbing area is mainly BLM, a portion of the cliff and access may be on private property. However the entirety of the Main Wall is public with a solid buffer of space before the boundary, so you are allowed to access up above that wall. Please be aware of the rest of the private land above the cliff though. Local climbers have established a positive relationship with the adjacent private property owners and it is important to maintain their trust for long-term access.
Description
This is one of the good ones. Great pro, classic movement, and minimal sharpness (for Trout) combine to make this a truly all time line.
It starts out with 15' of tenuous and technical stemming capped by a vicious crux getting to and from a sharp crimp and a mono. At this point, you're rewarded with a pseudo-shake before one more sequence of powerful lock-offs and stemming that culminates in a wild deadpoint to a jug. I thought the bottom crux felt something like 5.12 into V6 with a 5.12+ exit sequence.
Serendipitously more or less complete recovery is possible here before casting off on the 13 minus-ish upper half. Tackle a last hard boulder problem leaving the rest and the climbing begins to ease. The remaining moves aren't as hard, but they're pretty sustained and the continuity creates an exciting race against the pump.
