  1. 25m 15 (8D, A) Follow the easiest line that leads a slight bit to the right and to the start of a vertical wall. Follow easily a little bit to your left. (The wind and water is loud, communicate clearly)

  2. 15m 13 (4D, A) Step to the right and climb up the corner (crux) for a few easy moves. Just below the slab, pick a line that will get you traversing a little bit to the right and the chains. (The wind and water is loud, communicate clearly)

  3. 25m 14 (6D, A) Climb up to the first hanger and then follow a natural line of “least resistance” angling up to your right. When looking up this line, you will see a little green tree against the ski-line. To the right and behind/past this tree is two clean ledges above each other where the route tops out. (it is hard to hear your second from here) Following the line of “least resistance”, look far ahead to find the hangers hidden in the grass at each location where you will need to “climb”. Just past/below the tree you were aiming for, you will turn to your left and out of the “line of least resistance”. (you should see the hangers against the largest rocks in the area).
