Description
An awesome looking face climb that has been forgotten about over the years, despite being trailside. This climbs the face between the two trees located to the right of welcome dihedral.
Stand start in compression with two sidepulling holds located at about head hieght. The left hand hold is slightly downpulling. The right hand is a sidepull. Pull on and make big moves heading straight up the face. There looks to be a big move to a good hold at the lip.
This route needs to be cleaned and likely hasnt been done in well over a decade. It looks fantastic, obvious start, clear line of independent travel, can see most of the holds from the ground, and a flat landing. If I have time soon I will get out and clean it.
The grade is an estimate. My Buddy Ben said he climbed it about 20 years ago and it was a great V9ish. He also didn't think he was the first to climb it. If you have any history about this route, chime in! It looks great and I want to see it climbed. If you manage to climb it give it a rating and a grade!
