Tributary after bridge, path continues up this way and becomes more obvious. Look for cairns.

Safe Rap Descent for Single 60M Rope.
This is what the route Lover's Leap looks like from the bottom. You want to head towards the two field goal looking rocks at the top.
Bolts at bottom of cedar tree.
The creek bridge as of 5/20/19.
Bridge across stream complete with caisson on the other side. The bridge is attached to the caisson with rebar drilled through. Nice work, whoever did this!
TJ raps from last station
Looking down from pulloff toward bridge crossing the stream.
New 1/2 Metolius bolts and hangers at bottom of cedar tree. Serves as the last anchor on Lover's Leap route, and a short scramble toward the cross from the Original Route.
Lover's Leap on the right. Green arrows show a rap route.
