Seclusion

The downstream end of the Seclusion crag at Great Falls. The face itself offers some climbs not listed in my guide. For one, climb the crack and work your way up higher and then either left or right. Right takes you into the upper stretch of the 5.1 Original Juliet's Balcony route (that small ledge protruding on the right is the Balcony). The climbing in this view, using the crack, is in the 5.2 range. The exposure is enough to take seriously, but it's not enough to warrant rope, in my opinion. The rock here is not directly over the river, either. Great Falls, VA-- April 2007
