Description:

Start is the same as three pines. P1 is a 5.0 PG up a dirty corner, P2 is a beautiful 5.3 PG, P3 is a 5.5 PG, P4 is very strange, mercifully short. It goes up a short slab to a roof, exit left and continue to the top of the cliff. There doesn't appear to be a rap station at the top of P3, necessitating P4. Once you get to the top, take the trail left to the Shockley rap.

3 out of 5 stars Simple ceilings.

I led pitch one. Patty led p2 through loose blocks. Eric led an adventurous p3 in total darkness, the top out so off route with no obvious line to follow. It took us an hour or more to find the three pines rap station. 4 hours due to night.
