Comments: I felt there were two distinct cruxes. The lower crux was definitely making my way under the roof at the beginning which I thought was harder than the upper crux. Great route.

Comments: Fun route, beautiful setting, no crowds. How could you ask for anything more? There is a bit of a run out to the anchor but easy terrain.

Comments: Along with the four bolts, there are also two pitons to clip along the way. There is also about a 30-35 foot run out to the last bolt before the anchors above these pitons. It's easy terrain but be prepared.

Comments: One of my favorite gorge routes. Spicy off the deck, technical and thin the first 30 feet. Then wild overhung layback/ hands, finishing with jugs. Climbing moves, bottom to top. Also, a gorgeous setting by the creek in the shade.

Comments: This went back and forth between 10d and 10c in previous Gorge guides. I go with 10d - only a few moves, but off balance and powerful. Easier for big fingers.

Comments: Guys, zee Fish is F'ing with you. There ARE trad climbs in the Gorge. John, if they bolted it, there is probably a reason. The east side of the Sierra's have a great local community with a wide range of ethical stances. The locals do a great job of balancing trad and runout bolt ethics with modern sport climbing. Best.

Comments: awesome climb!! and it definitely makes you think! the crux is a little height dependent, so it was a lot trickier for the smaller people in our group.

Comments: Shares anchors with P.D. Time. The anchors are wearing thin from people toproping so please use your own equipment. The start of this climb may feel tougher for those with less reach.

Comments: I posted this route as 5.7 because thats what it is listed as in the guidebook but I wouldn't recommend this route unless you're comfortable on 5.9. This was the first 5.7 I've ever climbed that had a bail beaner hanging off it.

Comments: ORG is climbable year round. On the colder winter months watch out for ice on the steep central descent. You can find spots in the sun on really cold days.
