Left Ridge

FA unknown
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Lots of interesting moves (but not a sustained fully separate line).

See "shoulder" nub below left from highest cliff-top nub with crack above low 18-inch-deep right-facing corner. The "left ridge" is left below that.

Likely this route could be started from the base of the left ridge, but that would be much easier than the rest and less interesting. So instead . . . See short vertical crack in bulge below shoulder hump. Start on face a bit left from below that short vertical crack. Up to reach left-trending crack. Diagonal up left with underclings to reach the left ridge, then up the ridge to the top.

. . . Variation: When reach almost the left ridge, instead of going up it, traverse right to join the next route to the right (above its crux) at the bottom of the bulge.

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).

Protection

For ideas how to set up anchor for Top-Roping, see Description page for this sector Rosenstein.

Top-Rope could be set up with two directional protection placements from an anchor on the highest cliff-top hump.

Protection for trad Leading is unknown and likely inadequate.
