Currently, access to Zen Pen is only possible due to the generosity of the VFW Post 7441. The owners of the VFW have informally allowed climbers to park and access their land in order to hike to the riverside area of Zen Pen. Make sure to park in the dirt/grass parking lot only. Parking on the asphalt is for customers of the VFW only. Additionally, various private properties immediately border the cove and riverside. Please be respectful, responsible, and mindful when being here.
This overhanging arete has quality movement but soft rock and has suffered multiple broken holds as a result. Give it PLENTY of time to dry or this blade may become too dull to ever be climbed again. Start on flat crimps at 6 ft and follow the arete out. A sit start or low extension from the left have been theorized by many over the years but tried by few.
