Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

1. Climb the large, right-facing flake to a ledge, move right to a large pine tree and belay. 60 feet, 5.4

2. Go easily to a large roof that is 20-25 feet or so above the tree. Once over the roof, climb a shallow open book and a crack system that leads to a 20-foot headwall. Up the headwall (crux) to a ledge, then diagonal up and left, simple climbing, to an obvious tree. 70 feet, 5.9

One rap to the ground with a 70 meter rope, two raps with 60. The tree looks okay, but the next time I do this I'll walk over to the High E bolts.

Location 

Go the base of High Exposure, then walk right for 150 feet or so and look for the large, obvious, right-facing flake.

Protection 

Standard 'Gunks rack.
