Description

Above Oakridge, on the southwest face of Larison Rock, there is room for around 5 routes on a 70ft wall. There is some evidence of past engineering on top, with steps, re-bar, etc indicating that there may have been a fire lookout at one time.

The rock is probably ryodacitic, with pockets, wierd pillowy slopers, and ample underclings. Not too sharp, decent quality, but you may battle some moss here.

Getting There

1 hr flat from Eugene.

A couple min East of Oakridge turn right on Hills Creek/Kitson Springs road. Then another quick right on NF-21 to go around the West side of the reservoir. Then turn right on NF-2102, a fully paved but sometimes singled laned forest road. Easy to miss this turn. Drive up 1300 feet of vert, all paved.

Park at the MTB trail parking and take an immediate left to go uphill. I don't condone shortcutting but it is possible to bypass some of the gratuitous MTB switchbacks.
