Access Issue: PARKING ALONG HIGHWAY 19
Details
- **NO PARKING SIGNS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ALONG ROUTE 19 WHERE IT HAS BEEN CUSTOMARY TO PARK FOR MEADOW RIVER CLIMBING AND BOATING ACCESS. THIS MEANS NO PARKING ALONG ROUTE 19 SOUTH, BETWEEN THE BRIDGE AND UNDERWOOD RD.
Description
This route can be found approximately 300 feet climbers right of Greatest Show. Find the bright orange splitter corner leading into an obvious crack.
Do a few face moves, establish into the corner and get ready for meat and potatoes crack climbing for the next 40 feet. Mostly hands (i used 1 fist) and body english will get you to the top.
This thing is pretty pure crack climbing (especially for the NRG region). Really good. Probably only Yosemite 5.8 but who cares.
The only thing that makes this not worth doing is the absence of anchors. Hopefully, I'll get around to fixing this soon. Maybe even add a bolted extension on it. But as of Dec. 3, 2014 there are no anchors. Bail left.
