Don’t Tread on Me

Description

One of the best lines I have come across out here. Starts in a left facing dihedral that is a perfect finger crack with superb edging  and then ends through a flake that gradually gets wider until topping out at a pine tree ledge. P1:Take the 60’ finger crack to the ledge and belay under the roof (10-) P2: Follow the hand sized roof system to the edge of the flake then take off up a cruising flake to a small roof with loose blocks. Finish on an off-width crack with lots of air below your feet. (9+)

Location
