Left White Rib

Perhaps a bit more positive and fun than route to its left.

Up the white rib, then pull over the right side the bulge. Up slab above to finish at directional bolt.

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.

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 new name for this climb.

Top is between the left three-bolt anchor and the central cliff-top tree. Bottom is on the wide grassy ledge that rises diagonal left-to-right through the middle of the cliff face.

At the right end of the big deep roof, see the obvious irregular dark diagonal crack rising up right-rightward, with a light-colored bulge forming its lower-right boundary.

Start a bit right from light-color bulge which forms the low-right edge of the obvious irregular dark diagonal crack. About 20-22 feet left from dihedral.

Top-Roping: Likely can use the three-bolt anchor on the left side of the top of the main Croft cliff. There is also a directional bolt on the face diagonal right below that top anchor which should be valuable for positioning the rope over the harder sequences.
