9. Basilisk

One of the wider walls at Powerlinez, with lots of face climbing, some short cracks on the right.

Faces SSW, so often warm on winter afternoons, cool on summer mornings.

The flat area not far from the bottom of the cliff can be swampy -- so think about insect protection (or avoidance at times of likely high insect activity).

Top-Roping: Usually easiest with a long static line from a tree set back from the top of the cliff - (sometimes helps to rappel or down-climb a short ways below the top to set the carabiners lower so to avoid drag / abrasion of belay rope running over the top edge). Some routes offer the alternative of building an anchor near the by placing multiple pieces of Trad protection gear. Reach the top of the cliff by scrambling up around the left or right side.
