Description Suggest change

Ram (aka Rama) ascends a moderate slab to a steep head wall. The rock is excellent throughout, and the route gets good sun until late afternoon. The crux comes in tossing a 5 foot dyno at the fourth bolt on the headwall; however, the climbing remains continuous and pumpy right to the last clip. Climbing on the headwall requires a very aggressive attack. It also can catch you unprepared. The slab approach does little to prepare you for the need to switch gears once launching up the headwall. However, it is a simple matter to bail out for the P1 anchor on the adjacent Marga route if that is wanted. Also, it is possible to TR Ram by running up the route on the right which shares its anchor with Ram.

Location Suggest change

Ram is the middle route of three on the right side.

Protection Suggest change

A dozen quickdraws, a #3 Friend, a blue Link Cam, and something for the double bolt anchor at the top. A 60 meter rope just drops you to the ground.
