Description
Some interesting moves.
Up along right-facing flake on right side of low diamond-shaped rock. Exit up Right before reaching top of that rock, then straight up the face to 2-bolt top anchor.
warning
: The rock in 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.
FA first ascent? The listing of a Top-Rope first ascent does not imply that top-roping is the "appropriate" style for this route. If some party bolts this route and leads it
and
supplies a careful description of the size and metal-composition of the bolts and hangers - (by posting an Improve This Page or a Comment below) -- they wlll be given first-rank FA on this page. Also they can supply their own name for this climb (which is why currently this route has a "generic" name, awaiting installation of hardware).
Location
Right side of diamond-shaped rock with a right-facing on its upper right side.

Protection
Top anchor is 2-bolts-connected-with chain, with two carabiners.
. . (All bolts + upper hangers are 304 Stainless steel, 3/8 inch, but lower hanger, carabiners, chain, and quick-links are plated steel - installed in 2017).
Also a directional bolt to the right and a bit below from this anchor, which perhaps could help with top-roping some other climbing.
. . (Bolt + hanger are 304 Stainless steel, 3/8 inch - installed in 2017).
No intermediate bolts for leading as of 2017.
Top-Roping: Currently in 2017 there is a static line attached to a tree, which could give protection and/or aid in getting to this anchor from the top of another climb.
For ideas how to get access to top of the cliff to set up top anchor for Top-Roping,
see the description page for sector Secor
.
note: The two anchor bolts are vertically offset, so cannot just connect two quickdraws for lower-off or top-rope as many American sport climbers are accustomed. Consider bringing a sling or climbing accessory cord with one or two carabiners or quick-links.
In case anchor hardware is damaged or missing or otherwise inadequate, recommend to carry a few feet of 8mm climbing accessory cord and at least one quick-link.
Protection for trad Leading is unknown and likely inadequate.
