Fireman's Ladder

[NOTE, R Hall Admin.: The "extension" of Fireman's Ladder. From the top of Fireman's Ladder make a.... 

  ....Awkward step across the chasm, then up finger crack to bush and finish on slab with quartz veins to oak tree.

Fun bouldery chimney moves to a disco ledge, then a few feet of beautiful finger crack to the oak tree.

Face climb to a ledge (no pro), then follow a wide crack and an open corner on the right side of the buttress to a mantel out left onto the easy slab. Up and right again to a short right-facing corner below the headwall. Climb the headwall (crux, bolt) and emerge on a large flat ledge with an anchor at the back.

This route is on the right side of wall where Over the Hill is located.   For Sally you climb up the line but can stem into the corner beside you,  Sassy is in the 5.11 range and just climbs the route without stemming into the corner. 

   [Admin's NOTE: "Over the Hill" and the next climb, "Sassy" are located on a steep wall just to the left of the ice climb "Bixler's Way", and up-and-LEFT of the "Fireman's Ladder" Area, closer to the Right Cataract Area than Ramparts. R Hall 9/7/16]

Located on far left side of the Ramparts. [Admin's NOTE: "Over the Hill" and the next climb, "Sassy" are located on a steep wall just to the left of the ice climb "Bixler's Way", and up-and-LEFT of the "Fireman's Ladder" Area, closer to the Right Cataract Area than Ramparts. R Hall 9/7/16] 

  Climb the center line of the wall past a low steep section to a small roof, then big pulls up less steep rock to top.

Boulder problems interspersed with ledges.  Crux may well be the start.  Awkward but fun.

Nice pile of boulders and a cave. These are on the left end of the Rampart Area.
