Access Issue: PARKING ALONG HIGHWAY 19
Details
- **NO PARKING SIGNS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ALONG ROUTE 19 WHERE IT HAS BEEN CUSTOMARY TO PARK FOR MEADOW RIVER CLIMBING AND BOATING ACCESS. THIS MEANS NO PARKING ALONG ROUTE 19 SOUTH, BETWEEN THE BRIDGE AND UNDERWOOD RD.
Description
Recommend pre-hanging the 3rd draw (requires a long stick). The belayer stance is on an occasional stream, but is good in dry weather. Great climbing through the first 4 bolts, then difficulty is over.
Climb some dusty rock up an arĂȘte to a jug rail and traverse right to the first bolt. Make long reaches using good holds to the ledge at the second bolt.
Figure out a wild boulder problem getting off the ledge and reach good holds near the 3rd bolt. Make a difficult clip, find the necessary feet to bump straight up using a shallow pocket and a series of increasingly good bulges. Move right and get your feet underneath you to a good stance. The climbing to the anchors is pretty easy and the lichen does not get in the way.
