SouthWest Ridge

Tricky harder moves getting off the ground, and moving from one side of arete to the other. Most of the climbing is on one side or the other, not really on the arete. Higher up a slab with positive holds, punctuated by a move over a step.

Start at the base of the arete which forms the left edge of main South slab of this sector (and the right edge of its West wall). Up right side of ridge about halfway, then move across to left side, and up that to top of arete. Next up slab to a 3-ft-high step with three sections. Get up onto its center section, then up slab and between the two left-side trees (out of three) to 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).
