Description Suggest change

P1 - 120' 5.10c 5.7 PG13 - Look for a bolt about 20' up juggy, dirty face climbing. Follow three bolts up to a 5.8 slab section and a shallow ledge with a juggy flake. Clip a bolt and pull a roof onto hollow holds. Beware of a loose quartz hold at the roof. Move up and left on hollow flakes to a bolt and continue trending up and left on 5.6/7 terrain to the big roof. Make an exposed clip (slightly runout) over the roof and pull the roof to a stance.
Climb past 3 more bolts to a spacious belay ledge. Belay off gear and a prominent birch tree. Move right 20' to rap from the anchor on "Heavy Weather" or head up P2.
P2 - 5.6 80' Climb up the crack directly off the belay to a bushy corner. Continue up dirty cracks to nice big ledge. Continue up a nice licheny face above for 30' or so with decent small gear to a top out on big holds. Rappel to the anchor on top of Heavy Weather from a big white pine (no fixed slings at this time).

Location Suggest change

Approach via the main wall at double upper of
climb cadet's corner and move on to the ledge at the base of the main wall. The start is right of Ladybug and NightCrawlers. Don't be perturbed by the climbing low on the route as the crux is fun and well protected and there is plenty of fun face climbing on most of P1.

Protection Suggest change

The first pitch is basically bolted, although you could add one  finger sized  piece. For the anchor, you need some finger size pieces .  Don’t bother bringing a full rack up. The second pitch  extremely lichen covered. Probably not worthwhile.
