984 viewsThis is the view looking up from just below the point (Fornication Point) where the rope landing zone is as we continue to climb lower on the main cliff spine
|
|
981 viewsThe crack is about 50 feet vertical in height. About half way down is that huge pine tree root which grows sideways out of the crack. It is quite the obstacle actually to get around on this vertical descent. In this pic you can see a small part of the drop from below it.

|
971 viewsThis is part of the drop that would require roping to continue (safely) down and would be the first major obstacle you would encounter if climbing up from the bottom. it would be hard to do that as you would be unable to throw a rope up that high so would require some serious freestyle climbing !
