Freds Flake

5.9, Trad, TR, 50 ft (15 m),  Avg: 3 from 4 votes
FA: unknown
California > Lake Tahoe > Highway 50 Corr… > Placerville > Cosumnes River… > Bucks Bar Dome > Dinkum Gulley

Description

Immediately to climbers left of The Pod is a large flake you can climb up. I wont give up too much beta but it feels very much like a boulder problem. Crux is getting yourself up on to the first ledge, about 20 ft up. Eventually links up with The Pod. 

Location

Find The Pod, its the obvious flake immediately to the left of it. 

Protection

Use the same top rope anchors that are for the The Pod. To safely get to the bolts, I would opt to rappel down to the bolts either using the tree at the top of the hill, or the bolts located near the same tree.
