Description
At the midpoint of this obvious line is an old piton. My best guess is that this was a belay point and that they continued on up the ridge that is now shared with Enchanted Forest. Great climbing, a bit dirty, do it today if you like that old timey feel.
Climb a nice corner to where it seems and slabs out. I believe there is still gear and at least a tree along the way to the shared belay on Enchanted Forest. The second pitch is bolted and beautiful. Two bolts protect the first bit then four well spaced bolts provide a little security up the ridge. Can be climbed as one long pitch
Update: The anchor that was added for Forbidden Forest offers the opportunity to climb only the first 50 feet or so of Old and Enchanted and lower off. This can be a great option for some parties but the long adventure version is quite worth doing.
