Description

Next to a power line structure by Boulder 2. Has everything, cracks, overhangs, technical faces.

Access issues inherited from Fossil Falls

The lower portions of the falls have experienced territorial disputes with nearby private landowners. These landowners often prevent climbers from using the lower portions but with friendly negotiation it is accessible.

Ethic inherited from Black Planets

When climbing here, practice "leave no trace ethics" and ensure that you do not damage any rock or vegetation. Do not climb on any rock with petroglyphs or art on it. Almost all of the obvious lines have been climbed before, but there are still a large amount of hidden gems. Since there are a few local developers that wish to keep information low key, make sure to talk to them before claiming any first ascents.

Grade Route

An overhanging face with a couple holds. Starts on a right hand side pull and a micro crimp, and then goes to a two finger sloper pocket with the left hand that is up high. Hit the lip with the right. A few more moves, and then topout.

A sit start version of Unknown is possible. Starting to the right under a bulge and traversing to the start of the original. Would be much more difficult.

On the face right of Stormrunner. Starts low, but right above Uknown SDS, using small side pulls and small pockets to a topout.

Possible route to the left of Unknown, but is absolutely insane! Starts on a slanted rail, and then goes up microcrimps until finding slopers at the lip. A bad landing too.

The tall arete left of Unknown 3. Sit start and use sidepulls on the right.

Crack on the left side of the face that faces the dirt road.

Goes straight up the middle of the face that faces the dirt road. Highball. Fun.

Right of Unknown 6. Sit start, then heads right into large pockets, and then up staying left of the arete.

The face left of Unknown 4. Start to the right of a boulder, and go straight up without using the arete.
