October Sundae - the dotted line (which I have done) is where the NEClimbs.com photo showed the route going. It actually climbs through a "notch" in the OH as shown with the solid yellow line and as described in the text.

The "Main Rap Line" is shown, along with rap lines into it from the top of the slab (see also "Upper Rap Line Photo" for more detail)

Looking up at the "Notch" of October Sundae from a gear belay 30-40 ft below the OH. Hard to believe it "goes" at only 5.3 -5.4 !

Main Slab and Oct. Sundae

Super-Telephoto of "the Beautiful Crack" at the start of P4. "Don't leave home" without climbing it.

RW on P5 After the initial move off the tree ledge it was "So easy that it would make 'Dead Easy' (a 4-star 5.1 on Rainbow) seem hard!"

Dbl bolts under OH. Scramble (Cl4?) up to them from tree ledge.

Looking up at the top of P6 and P7 (as described.) Note white rock and "BB" for top anchors...but you don't see them. (Note: we didn't split the pitch into two)

The "beautiful crack" at start of P4 (Have your green (#0.75) Camalot ready) Leader is at the (first) bolted belay.

Looking left towards the end of P2 and start of P3.

The "Once Upon-a-Time" Rap Tree below the large OH! It fell over 8/19/16 when I used its rounded trunk as a seat, well below the level of the slings. Probably less than 50 lbs force.

P5 (Note how these climbers did the pitch slightly differently than the photo "RW on P5..." R Hall)

This rappel anchor has been added just below the fallen birch for the second to last rappel - June 2018 be careful of loose rock in the "woods"

Our approximate route and belay locations (bolts or gear).

View from the top with the Outlook in the background.

Fourth rappel used to go through the trees. Rap tree is no longer around since Aug 19, 2016. See note on route desccription. (a new rap station has been established here since)

Looking down towards P2 that goes on the left of the picture.

Climber on the vertical crack on P4.
