About Land of the Free:

This is the crag down hill and further left (climbers left) of the reflector oven. There is at least one 2 star crack, a short hard arete, and other face and crack possibilities. On my visit 26 December, I noticed evidence of others. In particular, the large obvious tree over the good crack had broken limbs. However, the crack had not been cleaned (still requires cleaning), and there was no evidence of climbing (although I'd bet the farm others have done it). There are several small crags along the ridge. The highest contains a handcrack to an easy slot with cracks. Further down there is an overhanging dihedral, and around the corner from this is the 80 ft hand crack through a broken roof. The arete forms the left side. Further down is another crag with an overhanging arete and a crack, left is a face with possible good climbing.
Approach: Go further left and downhill past the Oven. Cross slabs at their top. Cross ridge and drop down into a gully. At the far side of the gully is Land of the Free.
