Description

Two pitches of nice face climbing.P1: Climb up the Sea of Green initial corner.  Step left then move up and right, following bolts along a crescent shaped line.  Belay at two rings on the ledge atop the first Sea of Green crack. 90 feet.P2: Climb straight up the face above you. (The upper SOG crack looms to the right).  Over a bulge on good holds.  Follow easier ground, trending left to a flake with a two ring belay. 90 feet."P3" : Finish up moderate slab [80ft], protecting at the left end of the six inch overlap, and up to two bolts with rappel rings, (the summit anchor/belay for the Center Rap Line / Sea of Green). (Or rappel to the ground.)

Location

Find the base of Sea of Green.  It starts where the second wave of slab touches the ground appx 75 feet from the base of the north descent trail. There is a conifer tree with trimmed branches, look for the first bolt on the overlap appx 25 feet up.

Protection

Quick draws and small to medium gear.Descent: You can now rappel this line from the summit to the ground utilizing fixed rappel rings. Start with the two rappel ring bolts that comprise the top belay for Sea of Green. (To reach these bolts from the top you are exposed to the cliff edge while down climbing easy slab for approximately 30 feet. As an alternative, you can rappel from the trees, approximately 40 feet to reach the bolts.) Two 60 meter ropes--two rappels. One sixty meter rope--three rappels.
