West View Parking Lot
Boy Scout Ledges
| Approach: |
Approach as if you were
going to Middle Earth and The Pillar. Immediately after The Pillar, the trail turns
90 deg. left and then 90 deg. right. After you make the left hand turn, look up and
you will see Boy Scout Ledges (it is very close). The cliffs are recognizable by two
distinct features: the many vertical cracks in the face and the large predominant overhang
slightly to the right. Make right hand turn, continue to ascend the stairs, and make
a left at the end of the handrail. Pick your way through the talus and trees to the
base of the cliff. Total approach time - 15 minutes. |

| Indiana
Mark vs. The Weather God |
(5.4 / toprope / 40 ft / PPP ) |
| Location: |
Off-width-ish crack immediately
right of first little overhang left of The Prow |
| Anchors: |
Top rope 150+/- feet of webbing
around three trees |
| The Run: |
Start at the base, climb
the crack using medium hand jams and great foot jams. Great run to practice placing
traditional gear. Quick, easy and pretty fun. |
| Time of
the Prophets |
(5.7 / toprope / 40 ft / PPPPP ) |
| Location: |
Second overhang left of The Prow
and 5 feet left of Indiana Mark |
| Anchors: |
Top rope 150+/- feet of webbing
around three trees |
| The Run: |
Start at the base, climb the face under the
overhang. Reach left and layback. Hand holds are available on the thin face or
in the right hand crack. Get your feet up and under you and finish either up the nice
crack or on the face above the overhang. If you do not stem onto the right side
arete, pulling the overhang is really tough. |
