Description:

Not easy to get to, this is a short but fun and crimpy sport route. From Knob Wall, go left around the corner as if you were going into the Whipping Post corridor, but instead head for where that corridor dead ends. Scramble over boulders and trees to work your way to the back wall of Whipping Post. Look for the bolts of Lichen This on your left. Also referred to as "Lichenness."

3 out of 5 stars Fun to find

2nd Lead and it was a fun one. Gets thin at the end but over all great. Watch out for puddles in the beginning if its damp out
