Description This is an excellent new sport route on the left side of the Sentinel, just to the right of I Spy. It is approximately 100' long with double bolt anchors at the top (not visible from the ground, bring gear to setup a toprope), a 60m rope will just make it down in one rap. It is a fun route for moderate leaders with good position and exposure.

| Fine route that will be even better when it cleans up a bit. |

| Still a little dirty. Very exciting route with good exposure. You can downclimb the bottom of I spy if you don't have a 60m. |

| This is a fun and safe route! The river crossing is tricky this time of year, and the poison ivy is exploding with all the rain. But once you get to it this route is very nice. The top 3 bolts or so seem places too far left as it's easiest to climb the arete at the end. This route has a lot of 5.9 moves on it but has no obvious crux. |

| You can find the crux if you traverse left instead of hitting the arete near the top. It goes, but does not feel like the natural line. |

| Lots of lichen on this one, but the movement is fun and it is certainly worth doing if in the area. |

| The only detraction on this route was a bit of lichen, and possibly bolts near potential gear placements. Long, continuous stretch of good rock. Bolt locations were good, in that the route isn't dangerous, but kept my attention. Getting to the 2nd bolt was kind of exciting, as some of the holds reminded me of holds that have blown out on me before, usually sending me for a good ride. All in all, definitely worth doing and probably the best route on The Sentinel. |

| Certainly a worthy route. The anchor is in an awkward spot should have some chains added to replace the Metolius rap hangers. The crux is probably the desperate face at the top that everyone avoids by climbing the arete, but there is plenty of sustained climbing throughout. Fun route. I didn't notice too much lichen compared to other routes in SSV. |
