Description

For a route "topo" see the photo posted to the main Outlook-Area page.

[via Woodman's comments] P1. Climb 100' up to a roof, pull it awkwardly (crux, 5.7) and continue up on nice rock to the first anchor. 5.7, 160' P2. Head up and left and pop onto a beautiful white slab. Jam up an absolutely gorgeous crack which starts at an inch and widens to off width as it curves right under the overlap. Broken cracks in blocks lead past a steeper headwall, the climb a small white dike to lower angle rock and the anchor. 5.6, 170' P3. Scramble up to top. 5.0 120'

Location

Climber's left of the cliff. From the tree island rappel or scramble down to a two bolt anchor on the "ridge". (See sketch of summit area.) Two double rope rappels will get you to down to the woods.

[See COMMENT about possible single-70M-rope raps.]

Protection

A standard rack up to 3" will work.
