some low hue, deep blue! it is amazing that there's such a little known gem. the approach is steep and challenging both ways.....stumble sweat... if you manage to even find this flow, tune out and swing up one step at a time. the first 65' is low angle 2+,3-.the next 40 or so is much steeper(3+,4-). when its lean its alittle meaner and the usual skethchy scenario. luckily there's a huge evergreen to anchor from. there also exists some really sweet ,overhanging, drytool potential just to the left of the flow. i would love to put up a directional tr on it......its always good to know how to rock climb with the tools! i do want to reiterate the approach and retreat can be a slight challenge in itself...once found however, its its own little alpine playground.......minutes from the rat race and little known, it can be quite rewarding to the individual(s) looking to escape to some peace and quiet. its almost a full 60 meter rope from the very start to the anchor tree. its a fun solo..with a mini-taxion and a thin static line.
