Access Issue: Private Property Details

The climbing area is technically on railroad property. This guide is for historical purposes.

Description

No obvious crux; just lots of fun, sustained climbing.

Location

Start at the bottom left corner of the South Face (same start as Tee Ball) and climb diagonally up to the top right corner of the face using an assortment of bolts, railroad spikes (tied off with slings), and small cams or nuts for protection.

Protection

2 bolts, several railroad spikes, light rack. Rim anchors w/chains. This route can be top-roped, but you'll need to set your anchors at the middle of the wall to minimize the swing factor. Also make sure you're not going to collide with an adjacent climber.
