Nest, The

This is a delightful little nook that is about 100 ft above the east gully trail and about 100 ft below the right end of the Alchemy Wall. It's perhaps a little inconvenient to get to or perhaps a nice way to get away from the masses... For now. I fully expect this out of the way hidey-hole to become quite popular. There are a handful of routes open right now, a hard closed project and room for a couple more lines at some point. Slabs and steeps with grades from 5.9 to 5.11+ (though the project will kick that up considerably when it goes).Care should be taken concerning a few things. The access, either rappelling in from Alchemy or ascending the dirt gully require skills that might not be in every sport climber's repertoire. Be careful out there and seek instruction if needed. When leaving The Nest, rappelling the fixed line is rerecommended. Also, as the Alchemy Wall sees more traffic there is a danger of items falling from above, down into The Nest. Might want to wear a helmet.
