Description:

Originally soloed, this makes a fine top-rope or lead. 100 meters east of Crane's summit, the Prows are an easy walk from there via a short path ducking into the woods back of the cliffs. The first prow is the highest and largest; this route is on the next prow. A short bushwhack is not too difficult to reach its base if a lead is desired. P1: Climb the chimney on the east (right) side of the lower prow until you get on top of the hornlike chockstone. From here, traverse left to the outside corner of the prow, step around and then straight up the crack/corner above to the top. 50'
