Mutually Abusive

This route is named for the condition of the Maxwell Falls ecosystem from being over-enjoyed by a myriad of users (see comments on the area page). Hopefully more climbers will show up as we typically care about such matters and clean up litter. So bring a bag to the crag, and leave it looking better than you found it. This area is already in better shape since the development of this and other routes.

Start just left of the detached block, and stem it with your right foot, or avoid it by going straight up for more difficult moves to gain the crack in the slab. Use some friction moves to access the steep scoop on other aspect of the arete. The route gets harder with every move until you clip the anchor.

Take the trail down to the falls from the Upper Maxwell Falls trailhead. Once past the falls and down some switchbacks, find a trail heading up to the main south-facing wall. Mutually Abusive is the furthest right route of the three encountered here.
