Access Issue: Camping for Climbers in Mazama
Details
From the MVC:
The Methow Valley Climbers, a chapter of the Washington Climbers Coalition, respectfully asks visiting climbers to NOT camp or sleep in your vehicles anywhere along the paved section of Lost River Road or in the Fun Rock parking lot ... Please use a blue bag when on route and take all of your trash home. We thank you for taking responsibility during your visit to help keep climbers in good relations with the local community. Welcome to the valley and safe climbing.
From the USFS:
When planning your visit to the Methow Valley, please choose an appropriate campsite and use established toilets, or pack it out in areas without toilets. The roadside pullouts below the Goat Wall and Gate Creek are NOT considered sustainable places to camp due to proximity to the Methow River and lack of toilets.
Please see the uploaded map "Camping for Climbers" for campgrounds ($8-12 per night) and low-impact FREE dispersed areas with toilets within a few miles of your favorite crag. Free sites include: Goat Creek and Yellowjacket SnoParks (April-October only), and dispersed sites west of Monument Creek Trailhead.

Description
This is a beautiful long route that starts on a steep thin face, moves through a slab, then onto a great arete.
Two distinct cruxes: one low, and one high. The rest of the climbing is in the 5.7/5.8 range.

Location
WARNING: This route is long. Lowering with a 60m rope will not quite get you to the ground, but it will get you close enough to downclimb if you clean the draws off the middle part of the route. Please be sure to tie a knot in the end of your rope. Alternatively, there is a 2-bolt anchor at the top of the 5.11 to the right of this route. This anchor is below the anchor for Megafauna.
The start of this climb is the thin face immediately to the right of the Invasive Species crack, and climbs up into the thin finger crack next to that route. Look for the big arete up high (which can alternatively be chimneyed through easily enough).
Megafauna crosses Cream, and may share a bolt (depending on if you clip it not).
