The access into South Nutall has been ill defined for years. I am not sure of the best way in at the present time. Check with local sources for the most current information.

Description This route is absolutely sick. I would most definitely say that this route is worth the trip to South Nuttall all by itself. Made the trip out to this thing about three times to get it done. Took a huge whip going for it, but this route takes good gear the whole way.
The route starts in an obtuse corner with an intimidating, yet not too bad roof pull at its end. Gear is a bit spaced through here, but what you get is good. Pull into the killer finger crack section and work in a few pieces of great pro and then launch up into the killer shallow dihedral. Here a mix of right side in the crack and left side on the face climbing, combined with some killer stemming leads to the top of the corner. Step right on to a small ledge where you can catch your breath from the increasingly challenging climbing you just completed. Finish by more killer stemming and crack climbing up to the two bolts below the large roof.
This route is quite sustained, so rack up...the pump clock is ticking.
Location This route is located in a left facing corner at the Poison Ivy Wall
Protection Set of wires. Double set of cams from tips to hands, one fist sized piece.

| really good route. the crux sequence is bizarre! not really that much of a finger crack climb, though. More face-y than it looks. |
