Description
Lots of fun moves.
Up a couple steps to next to old tree. Diag up Left 20 ft (crossing gully along the way) to reach crack diagonal right. Use crack to move onto diagonal ramp and up right on that 10ft to base of gully filled with rectangular blocks. Straight up this to platform below gentler narrow V gully.
Step Left 10-12 ft to short face under overhang.
. . (Variation 1: Straight up final V gully to finish at 2-bolt anchor - easier but less fun).
Up short face (left side easier?) to finish on wide platform (which is diagonal left 30ft below 2-bolt anchor for the route "
Left Slab - Near Left Gully
;).
. . ? Variation ? (not checked by us): Continue above platform to finish up around right side of overhanging nose.
. . ? Project ? (not checked by us) ? Continue above platform to finish up crack/flakes on L side of overhanging nose.
warning
: The rock in this sector has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.
FA first ascent? The listing of a Top-Rope first ascent does not imply that top-roping is the "appropriate" style for this route. If some party bolts this route and leads it
and
supplies a careful description of the size and metal-composition of the bolts and hangers - (by posting an Improve This Page or a Comment below) -- they wlll be given first-rank FA on this page. Also they can supply their own name for the climb (which is why currently this route has a "generic" name, awaiting installation of hardware).
Location
At downhill-reclining 6ft x 3.5ft block below + just L from old tree.
see on this Photo
. . . [ another photo to be added ] . . .
Protection
No fixed hardware for top anchor or intermediate bolts for leading as of 2017.
Top-Roping: Need to build Trad anchor on top platform below overhang. Or if using 2-bolt anchor at top of route "
Left Slab - Near Left Gully
;, many climbers will want a Trad directional under the top overhang.
. . (though others will feel secure just flipping the rope sideways, which is non-trivial).
Protection for trad Leading is unknown.
