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.
Often climbed as a warm-up, this line is much more than just that with some of the best feature climbing in the area. Start on jugs on the corner and choose your own adventure going left or right to gain the pleasantly sculpted rail on the face and a sharp arete up high. For a fun variation, try staying in the inside corner liebacking the arete or maybe even climb the dihedral stemming the whole way.
