Center Alcove Direct

Sustained thoughtful climbing, but not necessarily the kind lots of people find the most fun. Lots of slopy footholds, perhaps feeling around to find less-slopy handholds.

Start in bottom alcove below right-trending diagonal ramp. Perhaps a zig-zag to one side or the other to pull through the overhang. Then roughly straight to the top.

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).
