Direct Second Notch + Middle Face

FA unknown
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Only a couple of moves near the difficulty on the actual rock, and lots of hiking up grass in between the rock sections. A bit more worthwhile if do Variation 5 afterward.

Start on left-trending 3-ft-wide ramp / right-facing corner about 10-12 ft high -- which is the second "notch" above left from the "big slanting roof" with left-trending ramp underneath. Up the right wall of that corner without using the ramp on the left side of the corner. Next up the left edge of the next ramp, past the top of the third notch. Next traverse right to the base of the middle face. Up the arete on the left side of that face.

. . . Variation 5: Up the right side of that face - (could do this by being lowered in on top-rope after finishing the main route).

. . ? (project: Connect to the route "Dividing Ramp" of sector Smiley Slopes, and use that to access the route BontiQteeth.) ?

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).
