There is indeed an obnoxious bush on the "class 4" section of NCB, which makes the downclimb a bit blind. Fortunately, one can loop a sling over a very shallow projection at the top of the chute, then yank the sling off once down.
Tick: Dove BM......#1 Scary Fin Is Next! Date Climbed: Jan 17, 2009
All plans (or "plans" we thought we plans) aside......Deb and I sought out this desert objective and found the crux to be reading someone elses directions. Well....for what its worth, we managed to make it to the summit. Short lived 5th class "gully". Got my eye on that cruddy fin!
First climbed Dove BM with 'day hiker' around about 2005. Went back 2-10-07 with 'MoapaPk' and bagged it again, then went over and bagged North Castle Butte.
