Description

This route was named for the rushing stream that will serenade you as you climb and for the Cascade Torrent salamander. The salamander, like many Index climbers, is sensitive to temperature variation and sedimentation. Luckily for you, this climb is almost completely in the shade the entire day and the developers cleaned off the moss and sediment on the route.

The climb starts with a left-trending ramp. Enjoy a variation of movement types, ending at the chains in the sunshine.

Location

This is the first climb you'll come to when approaching the crag from the main trail. Look for the left-trending ramp with a bolt at the upper part of the ramp.
