Regular Route ("East Rib")

3 pitch bolted route (sparse) up the SW ridge. Absolutely amazing 100% free-hanging rappel down through the amphitheater! Need two 50m ropes for the rap (or a 70m will reach the ground once weighted). Some groups use this rappel to establish a rope swing. Beware rattlesnakes at the base of the climb!

Please read before rope-swinging!

There have been numerous accidents here over the years. Do your research and climb/ swing responsibly. The swing must be rigged from the correct location, and rope slack must be managed carefully. There should never be slack in the rope for the swinger whether they are on rappel or on belay. Start from the ledge on climber’s right of the arch (the ledge with bird droppings). It's about as far right as you can go. There are old bolt holes / bolts at that ledge. If the swinger does not start from that ledge they risk striking rocks below, which can cause serious injury.

Note: this is the only descent route from the climb. Rappellers have priority. If you would like to do the rope swing, yield to other rappellers and work together to have some fun once everyone is down safely.

P1: Five bolts to a 2-bolt belay

P2: Six bolts to a 2-bolt belay

P3: Straight up for three bolt to a 2-bolt belay, there is at least 1 other bolt to the right, other options may exist.

Climbs up the eastern ramp.

I found out about the route from 2 other webpages and stole the great info they had:
