2013 Closures MORE INFO >>> Big Lost Cove Cliffs are closed to climbing due to the local falcon population This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Climb the obvious, newly excavated dihedral to a roof. Follow the crack around the right side of roof and then up to a tree. Rap from tree OR,
climb up and slightly left to the Frankenberry anchors, OR,
climb up to the right until under the large roof above. Climb up a short but fun crack then traverse left under the roof. This variation, "Obamanation Continuation" was put up by Shannon Millsaps and Sean Cobourn on December 6, 2009. Lots of trundling of loose blocks involved. Downclimb to Frankenberry anchors which are at the pine below you.

Location 

At right side of Cereal Buttress, 30 right and uphill of Frankenberry. Until recent excavations, this wall was ensnarled with copious amounts of ancient poison ivy vines, dirt and loose boulders. A couple more ascents and rain storms and it should be pretty clean.

Protection 

all trad to a 4 Camalot plus trees below and above the roof.
