Fowl Play 

Climbed this route for the first time on 07/20/2005 and was witness to some VERY LARGE rockfall. Rock just to the left of the route (near the corner made by the wall and the piece chipped off and tumbled down the gully to the ground. Also a number of smaller pieces were loose and were trapped by gravity from the belay (at the anchors). So please -- protect yourself -- test the rock, wear helmets and be careful!

Other than that -- it's a good route in an easily accessible area. The approach is best NOT downclimbed in the dark. Perhaps a little soft for the grade, but the length makes up for it.

Very fun route. It is a very long climb (by sport climbing standards) and you will need a 70 meter rope to lower all the way back down to where you're belayer is. A 60 meter will land you on top of the pedestal climbers left of the start. A cool mantle type move at the beginning and some cool thinner moves toward the end. Have Fun!!

Good long route. The start and end sections are 5.9 moves, the rest is maybe 5.8-ish. These 2 sections and the length are what make this route! Don't bypass the last moves by going left as I did many times before! Can be climbed with a 60m rope with careful lowering and some scrambling by the belayer...

I did something today I thought I'd never do and rapped off my rope about 8 feet above the steep rock ramp at the bottom of this route. We were using a 60 meter and the ends weren't even. I felt the rope end pass though my hands and didn't have time to do anything but fall. It could have sent me all the way off the cliff but I feel 8 feet into a constriction in the rock which I got wedged in. BE SO CAREFULL if using a 60!! This is a really fun climb even though I almost took the plunge..Knots at the ends of my rope from now on!

Happy to hear there was a good ending to your story and only taking away from the mishap a lesson to knot the ends of your rope.

Over 100 ft long! 11 bolts! some sporty runouts, great body positions. Probably the best 5.9 sport route in the canyon. 60 m ropes can be used, but some down scrambling my the leader will be necessary. if TRing it, you will need a 70m rope. Super classic.

Great route, hard for a 5.9. I have seen multiple "5.9" climbers get shut down on her. There's a great spot to stop for a break about 2/3 the way up if your pumped out.

Great long route with excellent exposure. Stout 5.9 moves at start and finish. Many great rest spots along the way, so take your time and save some gas for the finish. Rope got hung up on the top of the pinnacle when I pulled my 70 - thanks to the party that helped us free it.

The fifth bolt is there, even if you don't see it.

Ran into more bees than would normally be off pollinating some lilac tree.

Climbed it with a 60 and had 11" to spare :) I love the exposure on this climb!
