Access Issue: This area is designated as Charon
Details
Currently the the US Fish and Wildlife Service is reviewing the Comprehensive Conservation Plan and reviewing activities for compatibility. Contact the Access Fund or the Wichita Mountains Climber's Coalition for more information on how you can get involved in keeping the tradition of climbing safe in the Wildlife Refuge. Use extra care to avoid doing anything to change the natural resources in any way.
Access Issue: Access is always an issue here.
Details
Please do not litter and observe all regulations. We had to fight to regain access at one time, and we don't want to lose the privilege again. Local ethics and refuge regulations are that no bolting is permitted unless expressly authorized by the park. Leave the hammer and nails at home, no fixed gear please. Everything will go clean.
Description
A long, casual outing. I'd guess this (or some variation of it) has been done before, but since I've heard nothing of it being previously climbed, I'm listing it as a new route. Worth doing if you're at the crag and want to climb something different. Recommended to be comfortable on moderate run outs on 5.5 terrain for the top.
Starts on the lowest part of the slab just right of the Tree Route and below Right Face. From the belay perch at the bottom of the slab, climb the low 5th class slab to where Right Face starts, then move up and right to the next crack right of Tree Route on the right edge of that slab block. Climb it up to where it steepens (we setup a belay here). From there, pull left onto the slab block up to a second overlap with a small shrub in the crack just above it. Follow this crack until it ends, then rejoin Right Face and run it out on easier slab to the top bolted anchor of Tree Route.
From the Tree Route bolted anchor, rap using one 60m to the tree, then rap again using one 60m rope. Use stopper knots! You will probably have to step down a few feet to reach the tree midway.
