Access Issue: CLOSED Details

Please do not climb at Locust Grove. Local climbing organizations, advocates, and Access Fund are working to address recent No Trespassing signs.

Description

First off, the climb can be done in one pitch. Has the option to do two pitches. The climb stays to the right of Piton. Piton is very close, so you can use Piton's bolts if you really want to. The start of the climb is a finger crack which leads to an overhang. This is the crux of the climb. After getting over the overhang using crimps, the rest of the climb is easier. There are still a few tricky parts, but not as hard as the beginning.

WARNING: I recommend top roping the climb before trying to lead it. You can place gear in the small crack, but not well. If you fall at the overhang, you will hit thew ground. Happened to me.

Location

Superman is directly right of Piton. It is under the huge flake, which you have to go over.

Protection

There is one bolt at the bottom and one bolt at the top. The rest is trad gear; however, you can use Piton's bolts as you go up. So there are many different options. Two anchors at both pitches as well.
