Access Issue: Fire Closures, until at least Oct 26, 2023 Details

As per NF and local official orders, this is in the closure area for the Bedrock fire.

Description

Incredibly diverse movement. Puzzling to say the least. Multiple cruxes all asking something different of the climber. Friction, stemming, fingery sequences, powerful steep (dynamic?) moves….

Location

First pure slab route as you access the bowl from the Joy Luck Club hang. Just right of Tears of Desire (short slab to long steep section). Just left off Dreaming Extrication (obvious slab). Can belay from either the first or second anchor on the slab.
