Start on obvious diagonal crack, rising left to right. Work up to a large shelf on good holds. Use crimps to reach sloping top out on left side of the bloc. The top out is the crux both mentally and physically. Easy climbing, but make sure you're strong at grade before trying it.*caution in winter if its been cold enough there is likely ice covering the sloping top which makes a things a bit spicy.PM me if you know of a previous ascent and I'll credit. https://youtu.be/hzGPQY7hd2I

Marine Two

The Flame

Super easy, super mossy, and super pretty = super fun. I left most of the moss alone. You can kind of climb it however you want. It has a few very mossy rails all the way up and textured nubbins all over...or you can squeeze it like I did...2 solid arettes in the hand.PM if you know of previous ascent and I'll credit. I expect most of the climbers that certainly explored this area before me (all STRONG climbers) just kept walking with a comment about some gumbie enjoying it one day, but could be wrong. Let me know if you're aware of previous attention on this one.*Something like Crotch Rocket or Saddle Top would be good names for this also...recommend the sit finish it's fairly ergonomic.

Small buttress with north facing wall and west facing side around the corner. It's an ~18-25' block of really solid rock and pretty clean too especially compared with the other pebbles to squeeze right around here.A couple of Bell-Boeing ospreys flew over right after I climbed and as I was thinking about a name. It was only a flight of two so expect it was Marine Two doing dry run for new pilot qualifying on the Camp D run not Marine 1. Def the president's ospreys though (HMX-1).
