Widow's Walk

Mantel a protruding triangular block. Move right and gain a finger crack on a sloped ledge. Mantel the ledge and walk the finger crack to a pillar. Climb the pillar for a dramatic finish and find an anchor crack among the boulders.

Across the road from the Otter Cliff parking lot, follow the path to a lookout. Trend right and go towards the ocean. The cliff has an upper and lower tier, and you will be on the upper tier. Descend to the lower tier by a fourth class down climb through a v notch or rappel. Once down, look right for an obvious large, sloping ledge. The start of the climb is under the ledge.

The first mantel can be protected, but there is ground fall potential when clipping your second piece. There are no pieces on the pillar, but the climbing is easier than 5.5 and very secure. Gear to 0.75"
