RIVER CROSSING IS DANGEROUS. CROSS AT OWN RISK - Especially during the Spring and Summer, the water level can be high and the current is strong. If you choose to cross in high water, use the upper crossing. However, even at this crossing, the water will go up to the torso of an average-sized human. A sturdy stick or trekking pole is essential. A PFD is a good idea.
If you're not experienced, best wait to hit these boulders til the end of Summer or Fall.
The uber-obvious steep dihedral starts on a chest high rail. Tech your way up into the corner and use a tricky gaston to transition left out of the corner and up the slab on easier terrain.
Dubbing it “Dihedral with Gaston”
Big thanks to Jesse Evans & friends for letting me try this with them. They’d cleaned the boulder up, prepared a landing, figured out most the beta, and were very kind to invite me to climb on it with them.
Marked out how the line loosely follows. Start on obvious edge at chest height, then get into the dihedral using a cryptic gaston before finally stemming over the bulge to gain the easy topout. Technical, contortionist type climbing. Height dependent, V8-11.
Following the dihedral all the way to the top probably goes but requires serious cleaning & landing prep.
