jhamaker Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I think I found the start of the rt. Has anyone done it? Does it protect? Where exactly does it start? cc: Rock Climbing Forum, Alpine Lks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken4ord Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 So it looks like I am not the only one that has no idea what the hell you are talking about, when you mention Umbrella Tree. If not some set me straight, I am curious too, since I haven't heard of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 As I recall it is a route that is reached from White Slabs. I've heard a lot of people have a hard time finding the route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvs Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I tried, failed. That was 5 years ago though. Nice cracks may have developed in the smooth slabs we saw. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken4ord Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 So what is the deal with it, what is it suppose to go at? Was it good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaphappy Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 If it can't be located, it can't be much good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toast Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Bring the book with you and you should be able to spot it when you're across from it while still on the trail. From the top of White Slabs you traverse downward to the right and pick up the next crack system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhamaker Posted June 20, 2004 Author Share Posted June 20, 2004 >>From the top of White Slabs you traverse downward to the right and pick up the next crack system<< The next "crack system" would be that awfull 5.8 gully/chimney/crack thing - 50+ ft past where the route is indicated. So, no one who is a heavy cc.com person has gone up it eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothrop Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Got a look at this route from on top of White Slabs yesterday, appears to be nicely featured rock. To get there from White Slabs, do most people go down and squeeze between the trees and the 20-foot detached spike on Country Club Ramp? It's too bad that White Slabs ends at the Ramp, since the obvious way to the top (the Ramp) is so filthy. There's decent climbing in those corners on White Slabs and it's pretty clean for being in the shadow of OS and Orbit. Any of you SCW aficionados do White Slabs Direct? Looks scaaary. Oh, one more question: Is there in fact a fixed rap station above the finger crack of Shark Attack? That finger crack looks awesome, but I'm not up for the supposed runout 11b above.
