Väinämöinen

Thoughtful moves the whole way, with a strenuous sequence in upper half. Sustained overhanging. If only this were longer.

Up left side of crack. Step R at horizontal​ break. Next diagonal up Left a bit, then up to top.

name? From the Kalevala of Finland.

warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber - (and if possible, behind a large tree).

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

Obvious vertical crack about 10 feet left downhill from the obvious gully / wide crack in the middle of this sector which goes up to an overhang at its top right.
