Description

(Tip of the hat to "Lichen or Leave It" at Seneca)This is an adventure climb. The whole climb is covered in large flakey lichen and intermittent shrubs and other growth. Follow discontinuous crack system up and then diagonal left and up, then slightly right. Climb ends a bit west of the roof of Gription. Follow the path of least resistance. If you like your climbs easy and straightforward this is not your climb. The rock is extremely sharp and the lichen makes jamming and finding good holds a bit of a challenge. Not a good climb for the beginning trad leader. There is another crack to the left (shallow left facing corner) that may offer an alternative start.No anchors. Belay second up then walk off to the east back around down to the trail and down and around back to the base of the Self-Potential Wall area.

Location

Starts at a dirty crack about 25'-30’ up and around to the left from the start of Nut Job
