The First Cut

A juggy, loose climb on shattered quartzite. Start while standing on Mineral Fork Tillite and pull up and over a small overhang in broken white quartzite past the first bolt. Continue up less-than-vertical terrain to a low-angled (read: grassy) finish to the anchor.

Found about in the middle of the

Training Camp

area in an alcove where the tillite layer thins out a bit. In the alcove are two bolted routes; this is the right-most of the two. There is a prominence on the left side of the alcove that sticks up more vertically than the section on which the bolts lie.

Six or so bolts and a hangers-and-rings anchor, shared with
