Access Issue: New route development is prohibited in the Daniel Boone National Forest.
Details
fs.usda.gov/activity/dbnf/r… Follow existing trails and climb using removable protection or in climbing areas with existing approved fixed anchors or bolts. Development of any new rock climbing, bouldering or rappelling areas and development of any climbing routes involving the permanent installation of new fixed anchors or new trail construction requires prior Forest Service authorization.
Description
Start off the ledge into the right-leaning finger crack. Smear, lock and press your way through the entirety of the route.
If accessing via rappel, the gear anchor at the bottom of the crack takes hand-sized gear (recommended); however, there is also a bolted anchor 10ft below on a very sandy ledge.
Location
This climbs the acute dihedral off a sandy ledge 40 ft up the wall just around the corner from Whiteout. Rappel in from the right tree ledge finish on Whiteout or, alternatively, climb through sand and choss to gain the ledge from the ground.
Protection
Finger-sized cams, heavy on 0.4 BD Camalots. Rap rings at the top.
