About 20 feet below the jump, which blends into the photo in the middle. The route continues straight up to the end of the rock then left and up on two more slabs to the hiking trail.

The Jump from the South side.

The route illuminated by headlamp. Climbers: Asa D., Kate S., and myself.

An historic ascent.

General directions for Freeway. There's a lot of options with how wide it is. Generally though, just stay going straight up until you notice a rightward direction as there's a gully to the left. Keep following that until you find the leap of faith. Click 'View full size' for the image, to make seeing any of the text possible.

Easy climbing + great position = good times.

Matt Ebbing - last 20 feet of Freeway - some tricky, slabby, friction stuff. Fun route.

Slightly steep.

Just another day on Freeway: jumping off the diving board with a conga line behind ya, and someone leading ahead of ya with two single ropes rigged as twins with none of their sparsely placed pro extended.

Base of 2nd; looking up.

All ya really need, very fun route.

The jump section.

Alternate double shoulder stand beta to the jump (sorry for the gratuitous butt shot).

This felt like the single hardest move here.

Looking back at the jump.

Below the jump on Freeway Ridge, looking north. Since you can't see this part of the rock from the bottom, I've included it as an indication of the rock up here. It does get smoother than this but still basically plentiful holds.

Trees of Love!

Leap of Faith.

A climber on Freeway Ridge about 100 feet below the jump. The rock where the climber is is less steep and has a bit more texture.

Looking up P3.

Fun route. Nice, easy climb.

Mom's first ever climb! -featuring Bec, Tay and my poor rope management skills.

Here is the notch that you get to jump. Fun!

"This looks sketchier than it actually is."

All smiles before getting serious on the Leap of Faith.

No religious affiliations needed for the Leap of Faith.
