Access Issue: Don't trespass outside SCC boundaries
Details
The SCC owns only the right-hand section of Yellow Bluff. The end of this section is marked with a wooden "no trespassing" sign; do not climb or hike past this boundary, as it could jeopardize efforts to open more cliffline in the future. Also, do not top out on any climb at Yellow Bluff as this is private property.
Description
The origins and name of this nice trad line are unknown; Curt and Betty Jo Merchant said it was used back in the day as a warm-up for harder climbs. The current name is a reference to the lichen and dirt that's gathered on the route after years of disuse, but with more traffic, it should clean up quite nicely.
Starting just left of a gully, climb the face with good protection on mostly juggy holds past an overhang or two to anchors at the top.
