Interproximal

This general area of Toothpick Wall required extensive cleaning including removal of a couple cooler sized blocks from the Interproximal crack system. The result is a nice addition to the list of quality routes on Toothpick Wall.Climb the slightly overhanging right facing corner up to a horizontal roof crack capped by a pod.  Work your way into the pod and stay in the same crack system that diagonals slightly to the right.  The climb is a little easier if you use some of the neighboring holds on Social Distancing on the left through the pod section.  Climb over big flakes and ledges and check out the Smart Car sized block suspended overhead.  Rap chains for The Big Lie can be used here if the block is too unnerving.  Otherwise, continue up the overhanging crack on the left side of the block through another pod and over the top.  Climb out of the boulder pit to the tree anchor up by the trail.  The right side of the block also goes and is a little harder than the left side.  Another variation is to go left from the upper pod on face holds to a nice finger crack (5.11-) leading to the Social Distancing anchor chains.October 2021 update: anchor chains installed above the upper pod courtesy of Josh Elliott.  

Central section of Toothpick Wall.Top-rope option.  Enter Area #2 and walk past the first big tree on the trail (Vertical Therapy anchor) and the second tree (Toothpick anchor) to the third tree along the cliff.  Set up an anchor on this tree or the anchor chains about 35 feet below.  Use the Social Distancing anchor chains to top rope the finger crack extension.

Standard rack up to 4 inches. A 5 inch cam is nice to have for the last move up the left side of the block.
