1. C U P

Large rock about 60 feet high, way out NW from the Tower Wall. On its right side, the middle layer is getting crushed between the big top rock and the big bottom rock. The top rock layer or the right side is detached from the main cliff.

"C U P" = Crumbling Under Pressure.

Good climbs at a wide variety of difficulties.

Longer walk than many sectors, but not a hard walk.

Top-Rope: Access to top of main cliff and top of West face works by scrambling up around Left side. Trees and rocks can be used as natural anchors with static line or long slings.

Access to the top of the right side which is detached from the main cliff is either by climbing pitch 1 of the "Evasion" route, or by scrambling to the top of the main cliff and making a short rappel (perhaps off a large tree branch). Note that there are not many options for natural or Trad anchors on top of the detached rock, so consider using a static line attached to the big tree (or one of its larger branches) on top of the main cliff.

warning: The rock around this sector 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.
