Description
P1: Starts at the bottom of the left facing ramp of “Just in Time” but goes right (5.8). Rings at the top of the first pitch but if you’re going to continue then belay off the chains slightly higher on the big ledge.
P2: Go right then up the left trending ramp (5.7). Continue past the chains on “Just in Time” to the anchor at the top of “Ask Me No Questions”. Lots of variations can get you to the anchor at the top of P2.
P3: Traverse right on bolts under the funky overhang to a 2 bolt anchor (5.8). Belay here if you don’t like rope drag!
P4: Climb right then up to another anchor with sweet exposure for the grade (5.8).
P5: Go right then up to the top anchor of the bluff (5.4). Hike right on the ledge from the final belay to get to the lookout accessed by the Lynch Bluffs hiking trail.
Descent : 4 Rappels with a single 60m rope gets you to the bottom. A rap station on a ledge immediately below the top of P4 is much easier than rappelling sideways the way you came.
There is also a walk off option: from the end of pitch 5 walk up and left. There's a large bench at a viewpoint on the bluffs. From here you can follow a trail down. Take all right turns on the trail to get back to your car. Careful to close any cow-gates behind you and be respectful when walking through the cow pasture.
