Details
Cliffview Recreational Preserve is located within "The Reserve," which is being actively developed by the land owner for cabins, recreation, etc. Please be courteous to construction workers & machinery. Expect ever-changing road conditions.
Description
Start at the left end of the wall, where a tree is growing out of a crack a few feet up. Follow bulging sections of fairly well featured slab along a flared out crack system for some interesting climbing. The crux between the second and fourth bolts will earn its grade, while most of the ride is much softer. A well placed alpine draw or two will help reduce rope drag.
Location
This is the leftmost line in the Pirates’ Cove area, on the slab wall.
Protection
12 bolts, mussy hook anchors
