Awesome slab and low angle face climbing with variety of movement. From the far right end of the tree covered ledge, venture up low angle and featured slab to optional gear and a bolt. Move through the steepening finger crack and get crafty to overcome the initial overlap. Continue to the next overlap and head up the face to a two bolt anchor.

Dikes To Watch Out For

Path of Totality

Bolts to the flake then trad gear and number 3 camalot take you up and left along the chossy undercling. I am not sure where the bolts were originally supposed to lead to, but the route was unfinished as far as I could tell. At the top of the undercling make a tenuous traverse left to the Uninvited tree.

15 feel left of the Uninvited, start on a steep slab. Climb up 10 feet to a good ledge between two small trees, then head diagonally up and left to the base of a right-facing corner. Follow the corner to it's top making sure to get some gear in, as after that there is none. Step left onto the top of the corner and climb the bulge above to the small tree and slings.

A nice climb on good rock.Established on a blistering-hot day and we didn't get to go to the party after. I got really baked drilling the bolts and Harvey finished up the lead.

The crux is the first 18'(getting to the bolt) on a steep slab (about V2-3) but with a nice soft landing -I know! Then move up and left along a dike/ramp system with o.k. pro to a bolted anchor. A second pitch may be possible.

A nice, sustained route up the center of the striking, diamond-shaped slab.  While no single move is particularly hard, the climb is constantly engaging and always keeps you guessing. 

  Pitch 1:  Follow the line of bolts up the steepening slab, crossing "Grin and Bear It" halfway up the pitch.  13 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.  5.9, 35m. 

  Pitch 2:  Traverse left from the anchor to gain the arching bolt line.  Interesting features and lots of back-and-forth climbing in a great position make for a great pitch.  As the angle lessens, move right to a delicate finish.  9 bolts + gear to a 2-bolt anchor.  5.9, 20m. 

  Descent:  Two rappels with a single 70m rope.  If climbing on a 60m, you will need to break the second rappel in two by rappelling left to a cluster of trees and then rapping to the ground.

A good sized cliff with a lot mystery. South facing with some awesome rock and some rockfall areas.Easily seen from tha Kanc but a little hard to get to.I have yet to even FIND some climbs! The described routes are easy to find though.
