Access Issue: Petrographs: Look, but don't touch.
Details
There are several petrographs on rock faces at The Adjective. None of the artifacts are directly impacted by the climbing routes but the Forest Service archaeologist asks that we climbers be wise and respect our Native American heritage. Look, but don't touch. (Likely Fremont-culture era, so ca. 1000 years old or older.)
Description
A really fun route with a tenuous start, a pocket, crimps, required sidepulls, and a slabby, possibly nerve-wracking topout.
Climb up to the top-most ledge of the triple-ledge system, clipping the first bolt just below the top ledge.
Start up the vertical bit, wondering when you're going to encounter a hold you feel fully comfortable with.
Eventually, a jug or two present themselves for a brief respite, then it's back to crimping and pulling for a bit.
A brief period of head-scratching ensues, after which more trickery is required to get to and clip the penultimate bolt.
Delicate moves, a reachy clip, and slabby feet lead to the chains.

Location
The middle line on a wall with a triple-ledge system at the wall's base (as opposed to a double-ledge system on the wall downhill). This is the middle line when counting bolt lines at the base, but since the left-most line splits, it is the second-from-right when counting bolt lines at the top.
There is a steeply-sloping, narrow ramp/arete at the base of the vertical bit (above the ledge) that forms a "V" shape, making this fairly easy to identify.
The wall is uphill from the original Adjective wall that is encountered immediately after leaving the streambed.
The walk to the wall is approximately 7 to 10 minutes from the stream bed.
The wall is bordered on each side by a 15-foot evergreen tree; the wall downhill with which this wall might be confused is wider and bordered by 50-foot evergreens.
