Description 

The Right Arrow is home to the best rock at Gilman, the best routes and Gilman, and the longest singlepitch routes at Gilman. If you have time for only one crag, this is the one to visit. The Crag offers a nice flat cliff base area, somewhat separated from the tourists, and is a great place to spend the day. All of the routes on this wall have a similar character, with very technical and thin starts, to some sort of roof, finishing up long, relatively moderate slabs.

Routes here appear a bit intimidating due to the blank nature of the lower third of the cliff. Most of the route cruxes are in the first several bolts, so don't be put off if you have trouble getting started. Stick clip strongly recommended for this cliff.

Getting There 

Ther Right Arrow is the towering steep slab immediately across the river from the pullout.
