Description
Wide 4' crack between leaning flake and main wall with good feet all the way. After about 110 feet - you'll find good set of new bolts.
If you continue from there to Mr Natural it is better to climb one more short approach pitch. After clipping Apron Jam bolts ( 110 feet from the ground) go up in the dirty corner directly below Mr Natural. Your goal to reach the anchors/bolts of Green Dragon ( Right tree) and not the upper left tree with slings ( top of Dr. Feel Good). Start Mr Natural from top of Green Dragon is direct line and unlike left tree start you avoid rope drug, of down-climb back clean your gear.
If you going to climb from Apron Jam bolts to the top of Mr. Natural you have to have at least 70m rope- it will be 230 ft pitch or even more.
If you climbing Mr. Natural from top of Green Dragon it would be 50 meter pitch
