Left Gully

Interesting moves all the way, sustained in the difficulty grade. Wish it coud be longer.

Crux is getting off the ground -- so if somebody gives the climber a "boost" to reach the big positive left of the tree, the rest is 5.2. Doing the opening sequence "free" with no help is 5.3 or maybe 5.4 (easier if taller or longer reach).

Start in left half of cliff at base of left-trending gully, directly below a notch at the top of wall. Just left below from tree about eight feet up.

Straight up past left side of tree. Then diagonal left up gully. Near the top go up straight or a bit right-ward.

Variation: A bit less than half-way up the diagonal gully exit Right horizontal onto face below the high notch and finish straight up (interesing 5.5).

warning: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber or someone setting up top anchor.

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2018. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).
