The Dream of Life

If crimpy, technical highballs are your jam, I would highly recommend this climb.

Start on an undercling on the right side of the small roof and make a move to a left hand crimp. Above it, snag the slopey crimp rail and work your way up and left on delicate feet to two very positive crimps. Straight up to the top from there is very thin and requires delicate footwork and balance.

The lower half of the climb has some obvious flakey holds that should be avoided.

!!! IMPORTANT !!!

Please dismantle the log bridge/dam that is used as a landing for this climb after you are done working on it each time. It causes lots of water to flow around the boulder and increases the erosion/flooding on both sides. The water normally flows directly under the boulder and rarely around the sides. Please do this so we can preserve good relations with the park and abide by LNT principles. Thank you!

Having logs over the stream helps diffuse shock and will keep your pads from getting soaked. Having multiple pads and spotters is ideal in case you dry fire off the top.
