Access Issue: Access Restriction: Parking Details

Land owner at the end of 123rd Ave W. Make sure to park in the new climber's parking lot, NOT AT THE OLD MUNGER TRAIL. The land owner still feels that he owns all of this land (not true) so stick to the climbers trail and climbing areas and you'll be fine.

Description

An easy TR set-up or a good lead, this route follows the first obvious crack line to climber's left of The Flake. With excellent technique, this route goes fairly easily. Without, it can get difficult quickly.
