1) Never park or camp overnight at the access points.
2) Always park off the pavement, taking great care to avoid blocking the gates.
3) Clean up after your dogs. (Local climbers are finding abandoned doggie poop bags.)
4) Pack out all trash and TP, including picking up after others.
5) Use the outhouses if at all possible.
Description
Steep crack climbing in the huge dihedral left of Lava Haul.... contender for one of the best of the many classic bolted cracks in the Gorge!
Start up the wide crack left of Lava Haul, hang an extended draw at bolt 5, span the wide chimney making judicious use of both walls, clip a new ASCA bolt shared with Air Walk then turn the corner and stem forever up the rad steep corner to a first anchor at 34 meters (10c).
From here, gather some chi for the burly straight-in, Valley-style steep hands crux. Cop a rest in the squeeze above, then 2 more bolts of bitchin 10+/11- hands lead to a second anchor at 40m.
