Absolutely no top access in this area. Do not climb over the fence. Do not top out and walk off. All climbers should access climbs from the ground then lower off or rappel from anchors when cleaning the route. The top of the Ground Up area is inside a fence designed to deny access to the top of the cliff. Park staff allow new route development, but only for routes that do not top out. As new routes are developed in this area the anchors will be located so that they cannot be easily reached from the top of the cliff.
Description
This route starts high on the left wall of an alcove just right of True Grits. It is named in honor of local climber Miriam Cho (1981-2021), who is remembered fondly by many in the climbing community. The route name references one of Miriam's podcasts: Wrestling with the Text - When Women Preach.
