Access Issue: Use discrestion while on the approach via the tracks (CSX property) Details

While the actual cliff of Friction Wall is on park property the longstanding approach via the train tracks is private. While climbers have been tolerated in the past, be discreet, park legally, and above all do not walk on the tracks!

Description

This route can be completed by topping out 4 bolts, then continuing into the crack above. Traverse all the way up the crack until you hit the outcropping boulder with good underclings to the right of the crack. Top out to the right.

Protection

top out. 1" crack and good pro after that
