Description
Also known as God Monster in the Rocky Butte Quarry guidebook.
The rock is fairly slick without a lot of texture. This starts at the Eye in the Sky lower belay anchor and up the left-facing wide crack with large juggy ledges. Alternatively, you can worm your way up the leftward diagonal off-width to get to the top of the ledge, to add a more sustained 10c feeling to the route, which will require pro to 2" to protect. Getting through the split rock bulge is the burly crux. After the crux, continue onto a ledge. You can continue up a short section of easy corner climbing to the top where the Eye in the Sky / Skywalker tree anchor lives.
Location
From the top, extend from the tree to get to the Skywalker/Eye in the Sky bolted anchor or 20 feet further down to the standalone anchor. Then rappel from the anchor to the ground. Look straight up and you'll see a massive wide left-facing crack which is your route.
From the bottom, look for the #4 marker which is Bill's Buttress. Further right, there is a grand ground prow with the climb on the face towards the highway
