Good face

climbing! Climb the obviously cleaned streak of face. A few bouldery moves past a few gear placements. It may ease up with more ascents and more cleaning.

This climb ascends a free standing chunk of rock, which is a rarity for NC. While not at Eagle Rock, it is plainly visible from the overlook. Looking back down the ridge, at the far base of the second cliff (Possum Rock) is a flat topped tower/spire/pinnacle. Bushwhack to it. Climb the side facing the saddle (south), which is the shortest side. Scramble up to a ledge. Traverse right to the east face. Clip the lone, hangerless bolt and mantle to the top. Rap off the south side from a single bolt.

Mini knobs on P1. Belay at tree at 110 ft.  Then walk left across gully for the jug rail start of P2. P2 ends on a nice 5.10 white face.

Start at a thin crack, make few moves up to gear beneath a right slanting crack, head to the bolt, after the bolt watch the loose flakes and trend right to anchors.

Fun climbing up the short arete. Could become a nice warm up for the lower areas.

On the right side of the north face is a slab with 2 bolts that leads to an upward right rising natural feature.  The crack itself is called Barney Route.  Climb to the trees, scramble/bushwhack to the top.

On the main wall of North Eagle is a diagonal crack feature. Climb it to its top. Moderate grade, plenty of trad placements and a short, easy bail make this a great learning route for new leaders. Use a gear belay to do it in two pitches. There is a bolted direct start called Betty Meets Barney as well.

Towards left end of north face is a line of bolts heading up a clean slab to the trees.
