166 Indian Lake 167 Indian Lake ideal for setting top-ropes. But that changed with the route I Am Lesion, Harrison's nemesis that he tried re- peatedly. Each time he would climb a little higher, then jump into a nearby beech tree when he got scared. On his last attempt, with the beech tree out of reach, he realized "this is stupid, nobody will ever want to do this." So he downclimbed, jumped into the tree for the last time, and rappel-bolted the route. This route was a transition where Harrison decided to create routes that others would want to repeat. This new way of thinking led to the post-2008 explosion of new routes at Crane.

This is a long, 50'-tall cliffband, the first cliff you reach on the East Path 584103,4821102. It is low and mossy at its left end. All of the routes begin on the path, which makes a nice open area to belay. At the low point on the cliff is a spring, near the start of Hypoxia; mov-ing right the terrain rises gradually past a deep corner (Cracklosis) on the left side of the detached Cracklosis Block. The terrain on the right side of the cliff slopes steeply uphill below a steep, sheer slab uniformly cov-ered in shallow pockets and dimples; several sus-tained routes ascend this face.

DesCeNt oPtIoNsIt is easy to walk off of ei-ther end of the cliff and there are many trees from which to anchor. There are fixed anchors on top of the right-hand routes.

7 Run for Rabies 5.6 R 35' êstart: 8' right of Hypoxia at a left-facing, left-leaning corner.

8 Cracklosis 5.5 G 55' êêA good beginner lead.

Summary Longest and tallest cliff in the Measles Group with unique pocketed rock.

5 1 1 1 1 9-5.6 5.7 5.8 5.9 5.10 5.11 5.12 5.13+ total

This is the longest and tallest of the cliffs in the Measles Group. The left side has a wide roof 25' up (Short Per-son's Disease) above a broad ledge which continues across the cliff splitting it into a steep top section and a slabby, pocketed bottom section. The routes here are much like those on the right-hand side of the Lower Measles Wall—sustained for their grade, but more ac-cessible due to positive holds, and a gentler angle.

DIReCtIoNs (MAPs PAGes 142 AND 166)Follow the East Path to the Lower Measles Wall—the first wall you come to on the East Path. From the right end of this wall, continue another 50' uphill along the path to this wall 584165,4821137.

DesCeNt oPtIoNsIt is easy to walk around either end of the cliff and there are many trees from which to build anchors. There are fixed anchors for the routes on the right end of the cliff.

16 little Fever 5.1 G 35'start: 30' uphill of the East Path, below the left end of the long roof at a spruce tree.P1 5.1 G: Follow a left-leaning crack 20' across an easy slab. Climb a broken, right-leaning crack to the top. 35'FA Jun 7, 2011, Jay Harrison (solo)

17 Craterface 5.5 R 45'start: Same as Little Fever.P1 5.4 R: Climb up through a rock notch below a spruce tree, then climb straight up the face above the spruce on excellent pockmarks. Cross a left-rising dirty crack and finish at the high point of the slab. 45'FA Nov 9, 2011, Jay Harrison (solo)

18 Roped bouldering 5.10c R 30'With only four or five moves of climbing, this would be a bouldering problem if you had enough pads.start: Under the giant roof where an obvious crack splits its left side.P1 5.10c R: Climb the thin overhung face to gain the roof crack. Make several moves to reach the end of the roof crack, then flip over the roof edge and climb the low-angle slab to trees above. 30'FA (5.10c C2) Jul 14, 2012, Michael Gray, Peter

a spur path from the East Path.

Summary A tall, multi-pitch slab of moderate routes, and a steeper single-pitch cliff with routes in the 5.4–5.10 range.

This area presently consists of two cliffs: a tall multi-pitch slab with moderate routes (Bellavista Slab); and a shorter, steeper, single-pitch cliff (Belleview Slab). Development has already started on cliffs left of Bel-lavista Slab.

DIReCtIoNs (MAPs PAGes 142 AND 166)Follow the East Path past the Lower and Upper Mea-sles Walls to a viewpoint with a fire ring. Just past that, the trail turns sharply left. Immediately after this turn, turn left off the East Path and follow a smaller path up-hill to a small slab above the Top-O-the-Measles Wall. Continue uphill and left, past the base of another slab, to arrive at the right end of the Belleview Slab near a left-facing corner with a crack (Belle Bottom Crack) 584045,4821212. The approach time is 5 minutes from the East Path.

hIstoRYAt the time of the first edition, each of these two cliffs had a single route. On the Belleview Slab was Belle Bottom Crack, climbed solo by Jay Harrison in 1992, and on the Bella Vista Slab was Belle Bottom Buttress (now part of Bella Vista), climbed solo the next year. Since then, Harrison, often solo or with Tom Lane, res-urrected these routes, and, after the lichen dust settled, added nearly 30 more pitches of climbing.
