Steph Abegg Memorial Route aka Tangent Traverse

Start inside the rock, on the shelf, and then traverse out either left or right, clockwise or counter clockwise. Either way, the difficulties are about the same, but the crux may be different.

The top is off. For full points you have to top out before returning to the shelf. Then once on top, lower yourself back into the shelf.

A description of the piece on the WWU web site reads, "Sitting like a sentinel, the work references geological and cultural epochs." Steph Abegg's time at WWU and climbing in the surrounding areas was certainly an important epoch in PNW climbing history. Thank you Steph!
