Description
"The Phoenix" sits high on the wall, west of Cascade Falls.
This awesome crack is the first 5.13a recorded.
This awesome crack is the first 5.13a recorded.
Location
From the west side of Tamarack Creek Bridge, 2 miles west of Hwy 120/140 junction. Walk down to a flat area with a house sized boulder (visible from the Tamarack bridge), cross a small stream, and continue to the brink of the cliff. A 70m can be fixed from a two-bolt anchor on the ledge. Rappel down the groove, staying climbers right of the trees to find the first anchor on your right on the arete (anchor for leading). Rappel down and slightly left to the anchor to allow for top roping the crux of the route/rap to the base. The start of the route is a semi-hanging belay from 3 bolts.
