Description
This recently-established trad line is a real gem. Thin face climbing that has just enough pro to avoid an R rating leads to a series of roofy moves for an exciting finish. The route got its name from a blackberry bush in full fruit that the FA encountered on a ledge about halfway up.
Starts just left of a wide crack in a left-facing dihedral (the crack is off route). Follow the face up to a small ledge; pull a roof, followed by a reachy overhang, followed by another small roof (beware of dirty holds) and on to the top, finishing at a pine tree.
Location
Starts just left of the wide crack for The Future Lies Here.
Protection
Small to medium cams; aliens are a plus. Bolted anchors at the top.
