Description

Fun climbing on mostly laybacks and positive holds. The climb follows a set of discontinuous cracks and flakes up a large, right-facing corner. Half way up you’ll climb up and over the large, horizontal tree, owner to the roots you may have tugged on below. Keep climbing the scrub line to a bolted anchor before the wall gets brushy.
The route sits mostly in the shade.

Location

Up hill 20 feet climbers left of “Deep Roots”

Protection

Single rack of cams to 3, doubles 0.5-2, optional #4 cam and medium nuts (I think I placed one medium nut).
4-5 alpine draws and a handful of sport draws should keep your rope running nice.
Scrub brush to keep the native bryophytes and lichen from taking over.
