Rock crevice on the orange route

Rock crevice on the orange route

We found a rope in this rock crevice on the "orange" route. I call it the "orange" route because of the orange markers. We had been following pink flags until the trail split. At first we followed the pink flags and went to the right. We came to a high point that looked like a dead end with real peak about 200 yards away. Thinking that we should have taken the left turn, we went back to the fork and followed the orange markers to the crevice. The first step was a little tricky so I ditched my backpack and used the rope to get started. From there it was very steep, but climbable. At the top some branches block the path so it took some moves to get past those. Shortly after that we arrived at the same high point we had just left. My wife spotted a pink flag below, so we climbed down and continued scrambling along the ridge until we reached the peak.
