Diatribe

This is for the semi-obscure aficionados. This is a feature that sees little traffic. This scar in the landscape has yielded a few, briefly-pleasant, 65-degree-angle slab climbs. Approach via the Mesa trail from NCAR or Chataqua. There is a faint trail to its base, not too far from the Mesa Trail.

This is the route up the middle of the slab, right of

Non-Friction

and left of

Quarry Wall

. It is perhaps the best route on the wall for the climbing.

Follow tiny edges up this smooth face that make you appreciative of the low angle of the rock. Perhaps the Flatiron equivalent to Glacier Point Apron? You can belay off the anchors of

Quarry Wall

or the trees above.

50-60m rope. You can TR from the anchors on

Quarry Wall

or with 2 ropes from the trees above.
