Darker Between Ribs

Some bigger moves.

Up through darker rock, then up to 2 ft deep roof above and pass over/around left edge of roof, then straight to the central tree anchor.

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.

Bottom is on the wide grassy ledge that rises diagonal left-to-right through the middle of the cliff face.

Find darker fractured rock between two light-color ribs, about 18-20 ft left from dihedral / open book of lighter-color rock with cap.

No fixed hardware for top anchor or for leading.

Top-Roping: The three-bolt anchor on the left side of the top of the cliff is too far away from the top of this route, but there is a substantial low tree / bush back a few feet from the top edge of the cliff, which could be used with a static line.

. . (There is also a directional bolt on the cliff face below left from that low tree / bush -- not useful for this route itself, but might allow some quick convenient "playing" on other rock after finishing this route).

Protection for Trad leading is unknown and likely inadequate.
