Live Rust 5.9

Ascents: 1

Rock: Sketchy Ledge/Block at the Split of Direct & Standard Finish.

The juggy hand traverse that is the splitting point between the direct and standard finish is starting to get quite loose. I accidentally pulled on it yesterday and felt the whole ledge/rail system grind and shift slightly. I recommend only climbing the direct finish until this has been resolved.

Rock: Rock Fall

The last five routes in this sector have high likelihood of rock fall due to hikers above. Wear your helmets and yell that climbers are below the lookout.

We were hit by a bowling ball sized rock on Aug 30, 2020 and escaped with minor scrapes and bruises.

description

Shortly after the point where the trail levels off after climbing up a moderate slope, there are a number of blocks which obstruct the trail. Start just right of these blocks. A prominent near-vertical left-slanting crack starts at this point and goes right to the top of the cliff.

Gain the crack from the right and follow it past a small overhang to a small ledge 12m up. Traverse right 2m, then follow a crack diagonally up to the right to a ledge at the base of a solitary pine tree. Exit via a short dihedral.
