West Wall: Smaller Notch

FA unknown
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Interesting moves in two separate parts.

Find lower notch (about eight feet high?) about six feet right from a less-low notch (about 10-12 ft high with two 8-10-inch-thick trees by its top). This notch has a 4-inch-thich tree in its top middle, with an 8-10-inch-thick tree above right.

Up past the right side of the in top middle. Next walk gentle across wide ramp to reach flat rock resting a base of upper wall. Step onto that flat rock then up irregular face to finish through right side of sprawling low evergreen at edge of gentle rock slab.

Optional continue by turning sharp left and joining the route "West Edge" to the top.

warning: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber or someone setting up top anchor.

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2019. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

Protection for trad leading is unknown and likely inadequate.
