Access Issue:
- Portions of the approach and cliffs of this area are on private land.
In 2015, Access Fund acquired key privately owned access parcels when foreclosed on by the bank to keep it in climbing-friendly hands. Please park and camp on Access Fund property and take the new trail down. Please donate today at accessfund.org/homestead to secure permanent access and conservation of the Homestead.
Description
A few sections on this route might keep NPR's Will Shorts scratching his head. The climb goes on and on and has a middle and a finish that might thwart your onsight. Pretty much what you get on most Rough Rider Wall routes, stemming, laybacking, underclings, thin balancy face climbing and it is long. It crosses Crescendo at the easiest point, about 30 feet up using one bolt then moving up and right. If you clip two bolts on Crescendo you might not be happy with the rope drag. Work left at the top to use the anchors on Crescendo. Oh, and don't even think about clipping the last bolt on Crescendo.
