Red-pointing in the Owens River Gorge at Solarium. The ruins-of-Mordor ambiance and occasional self-chalking slopers might deter some. But the view of the Sierra from up at the cars makes up for the gloominess. And the awesome quantity of great routes on bullet-hard, pocketed, basalt places the Gorge a cut above all other western sport areas, (except maybe Smith Rock). Thank you first-ascensioneers!

Tim Slater begins the crux of the Broadway Traverse, 8/05. We approached using running shoes and one axe. We first tried chopping steps up Lamb's, but that was way to much work. The moat was a grovel but more efficient.

The only way this cliff could be more holy would be if Mohammed or Jesus had bolted it. <br /> <br />

THE CATHEDRAL at RATTLESNAKE <br />The route is Arabesque(.10a steep!). Draws to the left are on The Groove(.12a small pockets). Left again is Ikenseaor Crack(.11d). Perhaps meant to be said "I can soar" because the crux dyno out of the crack into a chimney/stem is a bit run. Top roping it, the fall looked uniquely horrifying but clean. The welded tuff is sharper than Smith yet worthy. Almost one hundred sport routes. Rattlesnake is four air miles west of Trail, Oregon, between Crater Lake and Medford. The book Rock Climbing Southwest Oregon by Greg Orton has great directions.
