Mother Night

Loose rocks small and big (including a known big loose one a bit more then halfway up lying flat on a ledge), slippery lichen and moss on rock surfaces. Not ready for "prime time". Only for parties with a desire and knowledge to safely detect and remove loose rock and clean rock surface.

Thoughtful moves in a variety of different rock situations. . (though this route goes into a chimney, no real "chimneying" moves are needed).

Up left-side face of stacked blocks. Next a bit left up to wide chimney. Up chimney (left inside wall) 10-15 ft almost to its top. Then exit from chimney with big step across gap onto face to right of chimney. Up to wide Left-facing corner/gully. A bit below its top, exit Left and up.

warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber - (and if possible, behind a large tree).

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

Double-stacked 3ft-high blocks above another block, separated from lowest face by a wide dirty crack.
