Description

"At the waterfall there are 3 routes. (Theres one on the far left I didn't finish cuz it goes by a huge bird nest. There's also one that only has 2 bolts but I ran into choss so I stopped.)

On the left side is a fun 5.8 called I Banged your MYLF. Named after that stupid frog. You can either traverse in from the dirt or do like 50ft of 4th class from the water and go up. You need a cam and a sling for a tree for this one.

On the right side theres a 5.10 with a 15ft V0 traverse over the water and then just to the left there is a 2 pitch 5.9.

I cant find the topo for this but the route on the right side of the waterfall has 10 bolts after the water traverse. And the 5.9 to the right of that has 4 bolts to the first set of anchors and then 4 more bolts on the second pitch.

I also called the forest service and asked them the name of the waterfall. It's just before cooper canyon falls. He knew what I was talking about and looked at the USGS topo map and said it was unnamed. So since I developed this area Im gonna name it after my dog and call it Odessa Falls.

Odessa Falls freezes up good too for ice climbing

One last thing please don't put this up on Mountain Project, I'll do that in a few weeks." -Tristan Burnham 09/27/2013 SuperTopo
