Rock
Std. Wichitas trad rack. A little run-out at the beginning but the holds are good.

Description:
A great crack line that has gone overlooked, until now. This is the most obvious line on Cedar Rock. A crack splits the right side and forms a precariously perched pillar formation at the top. The climb starts on the lower right-hand side hidden in the trees. Climb a well-featured face to a dihedral/mini-roof. Step up and left (similar move to Mr. Green Slings on Mount Scott) and start the real fun. A tricky sequence leads to a bomber crack where you can climb straight-on hand-jam style. Towards the top you will catch some relief on the right on some good holds (if you want)or continue in pure style straight up the crack. A great line. Difficulty: maybe 5.7, maybe 5.8 depending on how you climb it

Ascent Note
killer route, great little roof crux for starters and then the crack is way fun. Yellow alien is nice for part of your anchor - we used a #3, the alien, and the sling around the pillar.
