Total Distance: 1.5 miles
Difficulty: Easy

Rope: 1 x 120’
Anchor Materials: 40’ of webbing + 3 rapides
Parking: Park at the parking pin, near the Platki Heritage Site.
Overview: A Short route near the Platki Heritage site. Woo is classified as easy and is best done around sunset. The approach crack could place this in the easy to moderate category, as it requires east 5th class moves.
Approach: Cross the dirt road and work your way up the fin to the approach crack. The crack is about 40’ with solid holds and goes at easy 5th class. Alternatively, you can bypass the crack and continue contouring the ledges east to a loose and brushy gully. Continue up to the main red rock bench and locate the anchor for the first rappel.
Descent: 3 rappels up to 60’ and easy downclimbs.
Exit: Work your way through the dense vegetation in the drainage to an obvious boulder pile with head high blocks. Soon after the boulder pile, exit the drainage on the right side and follow the cliff band back to social trails and your vehicle. Avoid sensitive terrain and respect the archaeological sites.
