Trip: Green Giant Buttress, Darrington - Dreamer. note: bees nest

Trip Report:

Want to report there is a bees nest near the second belay on Dreamer. It is in a hole just above the ledge that traverses up and left to the anchors, about 10 feet right of and a couple of feet below the anchors. The bees are not aggressive; I was right next to the hive before I heard the buzzing inside the rock and was not stung, and they did not swarm. But perhaps they are best avoided. It is easy to do so by traversing left to the anchors a little below the ledge.

There's bats up there too. It's funny when you're belaying someone that encounters a bat in a crack.

Take safe sex or dreamer direct and you'll avoid this spot if it where I think it is.
