Description
We are offering this as an alternative to
Schooldaze
. Based on the comments I'm seeing, this is a better-protected first pitch. Three reasonable pitches gets you to the bathtub belt, and then you're back on
Schooldaze
. The first pitch is the attraction (the second pitch is really easy), and overall I thought it was a better line than Ben Schmitt's guidebook would indicate.
Location
This is the obvious, orange, right-angling corner just a minute or so after you start uphill from the riverside approach trail.
P1. Angle up right to a tree.
P2 goes straight up off belay to easy terrain; belay at large tree at apex of tree island on your left.
P3. Continue up vague right-facing features to smaller, solitary evergreen tree.
P4 is the bathtubs leading to the finish of your choice.
Protection
A normal rack is G/PG in the undercling crack of P1, and it is more than adequate after that. Belays are at trees. Fixed slings for rap at the end of P1.
