Stone Ship

5.0, Sport, TR, 75 ft (23 m),  Avg: 3.7 from 6 votes
FA: unknown
Oregon > Southwest Oregon > Honeycombs > S Comb > Prow

Description

Find two belay anchors on the belay ledge on the right side of the rock just above the third landing. climb about 25 feet to head wall past a bolt. At the headwall climb right around and on top the headwall. From on top the headwall follow the bolt line to the top.

This is a fun knobby route climbed as either an approach scramble or 5.0 climb has great exposure. A great way to introduce people to the South Comb is to climb Stone Ship and then hike the knife ridge trail out through the Secret Cleft.

Location

From third landing find a short gully with a down log. Scramble up the gully to a belay ledge to the right of the gully where you will find two belay anchors. 

Protection

Route is bolted or all top anchors are easily accessible from the ridge trail.

[Hide Comment] I realize the 4*s rating may not hold for Stone Ship because of its rating at 5.0 or Class 4.
But, it is consistent at its rating with great exposure that is going to only increase once the trees below the route are harvested.
No matter what your climbing level, climbing the Prow, hiking the knife ridge trail, and exiting out, or rappelling down into the Secrete Cleft is a great introduction for anyone new to Honeycombs. Aug 28, 2018
