Description
The first sport route on the wall, Shoulder Season weaves an elegant line up the middle of the overhanging panel of orange rock. Begin at a series of right-trending flakes, behind a tall pine tree and at the bottom of a rocky slab. Continue up sculpted rock just right of a prominent, green lichen streak to a break, then ascend steep terrain past an anchor (for lowering) at 34 meters. Finish up a smooth face and pocketed arête to the top of the wall.
The wall gets full sun until about 1:45pm in the winter; however, the first 40 feet of this route is mostly shaded by the large pine tree -- rugged when it's cold, a savior when it's warm.
