The Hanging Tree

Named after the smaller tree hanging in the larger tree near the base that required trimming for the FA

I really liked this scruffy little route. Although the rock isn't perfect down low, the climbing is very thoughtful, the crux is engaging, and the huge plates at the top are fun to grab.

Awkward moves get you over a bulge and onto a shelf where you can cop a no-hands rest before the crux. Move up and left into a scoop and make the best of a few disappointing two-finger pockets before reaching better holds. Wander far left, and keep following huge, protruding plates to the top.

Beware of your rope running against the plates when you are cleaning this route. They are pretty sharp and could cut your rope.
