Description This route climbs directly up from the lake. Follow the trail next to Sylvan Lake until the tunnel. This route is the last rock that you can reach before taking the stepping stones over to the dam on the right.
Climb up the rib on the left side of the rock. This is just left of a black water groove. Pull through the bulge at the top with a piton in the horizontal for protection. This route shares fixed anchors with Fair Game. One rope rappel. Try not to fall on a tourist!
Protection 3 bolts and 1 piton.

| This route was first climbed by Vern Phinney. It got it's name fom when the rope tied to Vern came untied and fell to the ground. This happened when Vern was pulling through the crux. So Vern soloed the crux, got above it and through som contortions had the rope tossed to him to finish the route. |

| Actually that is not the correct story. I was belaying Vern on the climb. Vern's rope came untied (bowline) and fell off when he was in the middle of the crux, with a bolt slighly below his waist. He grabbed the sling and clipped in. I tossed him the rope from the gully to the left of the climb, and he lowered off. I went up and after a couple of falls, finished the route.
