Follow existing trails and climb using removable protection or in climbing areas with existing approved fixed anchors or bolts. Development of any new rock climbing, bouldering or rappelling areas and development of any climbing routes involving the permanent installation of new fixed anchors or new trail construction requires prior Forest Service authorization.
Description
Looks can be deceiving! This grungy looking little line holds several cruxy, fun sections, with great rock and gear the entire way. Start with a nice incut layback, then crack the sequences of the middle two sections- while shimming underneath the large boulder on the last shelf with a #2 and .75, just to be sure it can't rock down, then finish up via an amazing semi-brutish #4-6 sized offwidth with just enough face features to keep this thing in the 10's.
Beware of some loosely chocked mossy rocks in the first wide section after you're firmly secured at the standing rest. These can easily be avoided.
Rapp from a smallish, thigh sized tree on top the first ledge, or you could also top out the cliff via a dirty, ledgy slab.
This will always look wet. Go for it, the holds are dry!
