1011 viewsGoing left from the rope landing point, I found a VERY narrow ledge that I followed a long ways around the side of the cliffs. It is about 60 feet down from the top and there is about a 70 to 80 foot vertical drop below it where you would hit ground that is far from anything called level. Nov 08, 2016

965 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. Nov 08, 2016
