Description
Begin up the initial chimney of Surfin' the Turf but at the first ledge head off climbers left up the obvious off-width system. There are three right-leaning sections. P1 ends at the top of the second (crux) where a bolted anchor may be found (115 feet). P2 continues up the last section (5.10) on to a large ledge. From near the top of the shelf, begin the choss. This is the R section as all pro from here on is questionable (except the last stopper which did hold a fall). Work up a right angling ramp past some dubious placements and continue traversing right across ledges working up where possible. Pull an exciting bulge then continue to angle up and right to a final overhanging corner. Load up the crack with pro and work up the loose corner to the top and a belay off a tree (140 feet). Descent: A 70-meter rope from the slings on the tree will barely reach the top of P1 from here, with a second full rap to the base.
Location
