Access Issue: Currently accessing this area requires trespassing over private land and climbing here is not recommended. There may be other ways to establish access (see below) Details

If you have interest in climbing this route please either look into establishing new access or working with the local LCO negotiate with the private landowner for access. Alternatively, there may be an option to clean and bolt a direct route to gain the ledge. Do NOT trespass on private land.

Description

Excellent quartzite edges with nice position above the river.

Rappel the route.

Scott Lewis out of Kellog has a tattered old guide to the area and that's how I figured out the name, which was not bestowed in defiance for its access issues.

Protection

14 quickdraws a few alpine draws.

Two 60 meter ropes
